I'm looking at La Bassine but can't decide whether it's worth the bother or not. I laboured in water during my first birth (in a midwife centre) and it was great but it wasn't a particularly long labour and I don't know if it's worth the money / effort to get one for this one.
I don't feel strongly that I want to deliver in it or not, just keen to keep gas and air usage to a minimum so like the idea of it as a pain reliever.
Does anyone have any experiences they can share with me about their home birth and whether they thought the pool was a necessary addition or not. I'm wondering whether labouring in the bath would be a viable option. Thanks
