pilsbury Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 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!

Vik Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 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!

realdeal4476 Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 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 ....
