Thanks ladies!
PZ-Its great being able to 'see' it, obviously we all know what a pool looks like but it just makes it real, iykwim?
Can I ask, what did you all have in your 'birth space'? I plan on putting up birth affirmations and special photos. Maybe some candles....but not sure what else.
Would love to know what others did

I painted the wall behind the pool orange. Also had some candles ready in the room, but had a daytime labour so didn't use them.

I have in no way read this whole thread, so I hope you don't mind if I join in. Have a Spring babe on board at the moment and looking forward to a peaceful birth at home.

Really??? Ohhh god I'm homesick! Good luck! You'll be awesome. I wish I was hanging out with you and our midwives. By the time I get back it'll be too long to be part of all that.
