    What did you do with your birth pool?

    We threw our liner out. Didn't occur to me to keep it! I guess if there is a #3, they're years and years off so it doesn't really matter.

    Kelly, i got to labour for 29 hours in my birthpool, and boy did i feel like a prune! on my knees most of that time, so i can well adn truely say, the padding at the base of the pool, is very good. But i didn't get to deliver in the pool, as was planned. Was transferred via ambo at 29hours, then emerg c at the 37 hour mark, (after a day of Cascade of Intervention - everything i didn't want to happen, virtually).

    The midwife arranged the birth pool for me, i just bought a brand new garden hose. Few days after, she came and collected the birthing pool. end of. i was relieved i didn't have to see the birthing pool, when i was allowed home, six days later, i could not have handled, seeing the birthing pool then.
