I have read all the threads here, and have found a wealth of information. However, I am wondering what the best place to get started researching is. Where is a good place to go to find a list of what I would need for a water birth, where I can find the products, read about what to expect, etc.? Thanks everyone!

Hi and welcome! Check out the sticky on waterbirth pool resources here at the top, that's how I started and it helped immensely. Check out the thread here about online birth videos to view. There are some great ones listed there to watch and think about.

Anyone know where to find waterbirth stories to read online??

I love this site. http://www.birthdiaries.com/diary/index.homebirths.html It has some water births too, but I don't know how many. Check out www.nchomebirth.com they'll have some resources for you. You may not have to do anything about a tub. Your mw may provide it all, unless you're doing uc. Mine had me get a hose and that's it. She provides the rest. Good luck!!!

Thanks everyone. My MW has a tub we can rent, or she said we could buy one of our own. I had already checked out the www.nchomebirth.com site. Tons of info there. I appreciate the other links. They should help a lot!
