i am planning a homebirth with brierley and am due in 4 weeks now (eek!) and trying to decide whether to use their birthing pool or buy one of those blow-up pool in a box ones.

in my head i have it that the brierley one is bigger and with hard sides so might not be as comfortable as a blow up one....

anyone have any opinions or better still a photo of it?

cheers!

I used it 6 months ago!


I have nothing to compare it too unfortunately but I did find it comfortable, it is hard sided but has padding on the rim which is covered by the liner, It is very roomy, and the bottom has a padded layer, I do have a picture but will have to search hubbies PC for it!

I used it - although had to go into hospital in the end so we didn't end up with a water baby!


It was brilliant I thought - good height for hanging onto during a contraction and set up easily.


Thoughtful husband popped some old cushions and towels underneath it before filling it so it was more comfy to kneel in.


Top tip - make sure you have some hair tie things nearby - when I asked husband if he could please fetch me my butterfly clip as my damp hair was driving me mad he was obviously a bit flustered bless him, as he returned with a cycling helmet saying 'Will this help?'


erm ....

      Londis isnt a take away or fast food outlet. Its simply another convenience store.

      Excellent New Local Plumber

      By MariaSE22 · Posted

      Greg came out at last minute notice to address a leak at the flat. He stayed for 90 mins to try and fix it but turned out it was a communal pipe. He was quick to write a report so we could get Southwark onto it. Great plumber, would recommend highly.

      Where to take a 9 year old during summer holiday.

      By Pugwash · Posted

      My daughter, a single parent, has been let down by her children's' father, who was supposed to have them for part of the school holidays, So we are helping out. Our grand daughter aged 11 is no problem, but 9year old is more difficult to please. Has an interest in computers and coding, does not like crowds (neurodiverse)  Is keen n how things work and enjoys taking things apart. He is already going to the transport museum and has been to the science museum  Husband and I have some mobility problems so nothing too strenuous. have done Horniman's a number of times.  Is there any local holiday schemes where we can enrol him in for 2/3 days. There seems to be a number relating to singing/dancing and drama but nothing science/maths based. He does not have an interest in sport at the moment. Grand children live in Sussex and will be attending Holiday Clubs for a couple of weeks

      Who to call to dispose of a dead fox please?

      By Peckhampam · Posted

      When I had a dead fox in my garden the council told me to put it in my wheelie bin, the green one.  I warned the dust bin men when they came that it was in there.They said they get worse than foxes put it!  Dead bodies!?  In the heat it might be better to bag it up first. Pam
