Have you used your birth pool as a wading pool? How do your dc feel about the dual purpose ?

yup! it's dd's pool now. i really enjoy the look on her friends' parents' faces when i tell them that Ben and Gus were born in that pool. i always mention that it was well cleaned afterwards!

eta: Ellie is indifferent to the original purpose of the pool, though before the birth she wanted those babies born already so she could have the pool!

That is exactly how my kids were. They were getting sick of looking at a blown up pool in the living room that they couldn't use.

Yep, ours is out in the backyard now! Ds loves it. I figure for 20 bucks, it's a disposable item, and I can order another one in a couple years for the next pregnancy!

The first one we did. Then someone put a hole in it. :

The second one is still in the garage.

Yup, I bought one that was too big so I didn't birth in it, just labored in it. Gave it to the kids afterward, it was great for them. Only lasted one summer with them jumping around in it though...lol labor was easier on it.

We have ours outside but haven't filled it yet (mosquitoes are bad right now). Definitely dual purpose. If I hadn't been sure of another fast labor I would have ordered the bigger one so we'd have a bigger one for the backyard... but I didn't want to risk not getting my waterbirth because the pool wasn't filled.
