Didn't get a fishy pool, will this work?

On a whim I found one of the only pools I could find in any store and found this one:

http://www.kidstoychest.com/wet/sunset-glow-pool.htm

Will this work? I've been looking and the fishy pools seem to have thicker/sturdier sides. If I do labor in the pool we'll have it set up in the living room between the couches so if it's neccessary I can always lean over one of them.

it might not be deep enough. I think it says it's 18" high. I had a fishy that was 22" and I didn't find it deep enough--I felt cold and like I wasn't covered enough. It helped with the pain, definitely, but it wasn't what I thought it would be and I think it was definitely because it wasn't deep enough. I didn't birth in the pool. Oh and I am not tall or especially big--I'm only 5'5, 170 pounds on the day I delivered, normally 130 or so.

This one is similar but bigger, for a comparable price:
http://qualityinflatables.com/56493.html

And this looks like basically the same one at Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/Swim-Center-Oc...497821&sr=1-15

I'm figuring on getting this one, as we have room for it.

Okay, now I want the smaller one for faster filling/emptying and staying warm longer. So thanks for the link!
