Ha Mel that's awesome, yay for a house birth Sounds like much of a muchness to me. So glad it worked out for you!

So I have a question in regards to pools...I'm in Melbourne, and giving birth in winter (brrrrrr!) how do I keep the pool warm? Refilling with new hot water won't work as we have a TINY hot water service, and it's all electric which can be a bit $$, bit really the size of the thing is the problem. We're wanting to hire one, can you get heated ones? Or a heater of some sort for the water? And does anyone know a good place to hire pools on Melb (or if I can get them through Sunshine program?)
