Unfortunately our bathroom is upstairs - the birth pool would need to be on the ground floor (lots of reasons) and a major obstacle to going ahead with home birth is emptying the thing. I know kitchen sink can't handle the water and tends to flood in a birth pool draining scenario, even with a pump - needs a toilet or a drain really. It is a LONG way between where the birth pool Will be and the upstairs bathroom - easily 20 metres and upstairs. I can't see a pump really solving it?
