I used one of these and gave birth kneeling. I'm quite tall but the water gets much deeper than you think it will.

Hope all goes well.

It's out of stock until May 30th. May well have given birth by then Grin

I had the bpib kit via boots online for both my HB's & it's been deep enough to deliver on all fours & a supported squat.

Try ebay - there are always tonnes on there, lots unused.

I just got the BPIAB regular. & trialled it this evening. - fantastically deep and lots of space. Yes it says out of stock on their own website but we found a company to hire it from £80 for all the equipment & 2 liners- ordered it last weds online & they delivered it Thurs! Just hoping I don't go overdue now so I get to actually use it :) if not the spa effect this evening was lovely anyway!

I got the BPIAB mini and had DD on my knees in it. It was fine, height wise. About 2 foot of water I think. And I'm nearly 5'8" so out of the "height range" for that pool but I found it fine.
I've been offered a La Bassine this time which I hope will be OK too.
