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 ....

      Anyone else having issues with The Gardens Surgery

      The receptionist did request a phone call and there was an issue where seeing the symptoms would have been helpful , plus I had questions I wanted to ask - but I just got a text with very generic advice (e.g. if X happens, go to A&E).  You can definitely request routine appointments by phone. Perhaps it's at the doctor's discretion with same day ones.  Having said all that, I think it's a pretty good surgery compared to some.

      Recommendation: Spoiltdog aka Andy

      I recommend Andy—he was punctual, tidy, resourceful, clear about timing and pricing, and did quality work at relatively short notice. I would use his services again and have already recommended him to friends.

      You can still  request a phone appointment with a doctor, I think, if it's an issue you need to ask questions about? Or, I have had questions quickly answered by a GP  via their online system. Hopefully all this is teething problems, and the staff as well as patients are having to get to grips with a relatively new system. I can fully understand that it is much better all round if GP face to face appointments are saved for things that need a physical examination, and it must mean that patients who do need one  are seen more quickly than under the old system?
