I had a la bassine & it was lovely. Water stayed warm, Walls were strong enough for me to lean on for hours on end.

I would say though buy an electric pump for the air & an electric pump to drain the water out afterwards as these made it much easier

Good luck!

I've a birth pool in a box you can borrow/have. Used once (successfully and very happy with it). You'd need a new liner. We didn't need electric pump. Let me know if that's helpful - it's the smaller one. I'm 5 foot 4 (and an important half!) and it was absolutely fine.

Another vote for birthpool in a box. I bought the big version off another forumite and it was great. I then ended up transferring to kings and was lucky enough to get a pool there, which was the birthpool in a box small version. Having used both, I think I preferred the small one as I was slipping around less inside it (I'm average height). The small one would have been easier to fill and empty, which does take quite a while, so I think I'd to for that one next time. The pool is extremely sturdy and comfortable.


You could always go and take a look at the one in kings as I think they do tours?

    • For every person like OP that moans their doorbell was rung and there was a knock on the door, there's someone else moaning that they didn't hear the delivery drivers. If you've ever done delivery work you'll know that loads of people's bells don't work. The delivery drivers probably goes to a hundred doors a day: press bell, knock door, drop package, move on. If you don't like delivery drivers, insist on delivery by Royal Mail where the workers have wages and a union - or just stop ordering shit online that's artificially cheap. But most of us (me included) don't want that
    • If someone comes to my house and bangs my door and slams my gate, I'd speak to them about it nicely and ask if they would please not do that. And then subsequently less nicely if they keep doing it, ending in reporting them.  We don't slam doors at home and I don't put up with that either. I can see us moving to a culture where we bribe drivers to be nice by tipping them, but we shouldn't have to. It's not necessary - does not matter if they are on minimum wage or not, or if society means that delivery services are outsourced or whatever reason anyone would like to concoct.     
    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.
