Has anyone birthed in their normal bath? i think i would prefer that to a birth pool in the living area.
my concern would be size constraint...and the fact that it isnt padded... what i loved about my birth pool that i hired was that it was super soft on my knees and had a really wide inflated edge for me to really lean into and grip/hang off and also allowed my birth support to comfortably sit on...oh and did i mention the awesome size lol?! i loved being able to move away from my people so that i could get away from them to the far corner and just focus on Marta and I...

Tash: hmmmm cant remember the exact dimensions...but you can check out the picks on my FB i found there was enough room to switch sides and stretch out etc.
