Anyone have any recommendations for best birthpool brand to buy for upcoming home birth (fingers crossed)? Am a bit flummoxed by choice on line and wondered if people had any personal experience to share in terms of brands that worked well? Also we have a fancy tap in kitchen (design over substance) and no way are we going to be able to attach hose to it- can you fill a birthpool with cold water from outside tap partially and then heat up w boiling water I wonder? Otherwise bucket might have to do...

Birth pool in a box is the most common (so easier to sell on and get replacement bits!). You can send it back if unopened too. You can get one second hand and buy a new kit (liner/hose etc).

As for the tap, it'd be a lot of kettles! They're big and it needs to be deep. I would suggest speaking to the company you buy off? We have a fancy tap and the attachments worked for us.

Good luck - both water and home births are amazing!

    • I also wonder if all this, recently events and so many u turns is going to also be the end of Kier Starmer.
    • And I replied: Mandelson and Trump have much in common. They are both shallow, vulgar and vain. They both fetishise wealth and power, irrespective of who holds it or how it was accumulated. They were both close friends and associates of the late Jeffrey Epstein and have moved in the same circles, as Ghislaine Maxwell’s address book allegedly confirms. Recognising another who is utterly transactional and lacking in a moral compass, there’s every chance of “Petie” fitting right in Mar-a-Largo. That Starmer couldn’t anticipate that Mandelson’s past behaviour would be problematic just proves how inept this government is.
    • Can't agree with that because he is a superb communicator - a really smart and  smooth talker. He studied PPE at Oxford and was communications director for Labour for many years.  Setting aside the "minor"  indiscretions during his time in government he has all the smoothness and ability to flatter Trump without appearing obsequious. Plus he can manage and exploit  Trump’s ego. He is highly polished socially, comfortable in elite circles, skilled at making personal connections. He can flatter and disarm, which is a useful tactic with Trump, who responds well to personal respect and praise. As a former EU Trade Commissioner and Cabinet minister, Mandelson understands international relations, trade, and diplomacy. He knows how to frame issues in terms of “wins” that Trump could claim credit for. I honestly hope that he survives.  
    • He is toast  he should never have been appointed  and starmer flannelling about all of this shows exceptionally poor judgement  a disgrace all around
