Not too long now then, Arimeh, and you'll have your little man in your arms. Sending lovely birthing vibes your way.

Dot Face - you can also try Gumtree, or ask your m/w. My m/w asked around for me (old clients, for eg) and I was able to borrow my birth pool and just buy a liner. I'm doing the same thing again, although I think this time the pool is being lent for good, due to no longer being needed by its original owner. Local HB groups might also be a good place to ask. Advantage is that sometimes you can even get pump and hoses thrown in for good measure. I have to buy a pump this time, but no biggie, since that will come in handy for other things. This time I'm going to clean and keep the liner too, JIC.
