This will be for DC2, DD was a fast induced labour and the midwife expects this will be a relatively fast labour too so I would like to have everything I need lined up and ready should I be able to birth at home.
I will be borrowing a pool and buying a liner but I can't seem to find much online info about filling / emptying the pool and so on.
The plan is to have the pool downstairs so the floor can take the weight but I'm not sure how to fill it, can I use any old hose or does it have to be a special one? I will do a trial run filling it but I am rather running out of time to get everything organised as I'm already 38 weeks. I guess I was in denial that I will have to give birth at some point!
Any advice from home waterbirthers would be much appreciated
