*Sigh*
I've had to wait to order my birth pool because of money, and when I went to order it this morning they were out of stock!

:
So ok, I figured I could order the smaller one. My friend used it and it was big enough.
Well, THEY were out of stock too!

Sooo...I ended up ordering this instead.
I would've ordered the smaller fishy pool from Birth with Sol, but we just can't afford it right now, we had $20 budgeted, and that's that.

I'm just nervous because I don't know of anyone who's used this for a birth (saw in a post here that one lady had ordered it, but not used it yet), and it's 4" shorter than the one I had planned on

What do you all think?

I've seen one's like this used...I haven't used it personally tho.

It looks quite sturdy, and big enough to me! squihy edges to push against if needed too...

looks good to me fwiw!

I think I'm the lady you're talking about... If I go into labor before you I'll let you know how the pool works out

 

[AutumnMama]

Crystal, yep! I think you're right

Our due dates must be close, I'm almost 36 weeks.
I'll let you know if I go into labor before you too...I went 5 days 'early' with both of the other two

ETA: I'll probably set it up for a trial run when it gets here actually.

I was 10 days past EDD last time... hmmm wanna race?

 

[AutumnMama]

Well, considering they both looked like 41 weekers according to the MW, I don't think a race would be fair

And hi Sarah, congrats on the pregnancy! Baby girls in January are extra sweet

the funny thing is, dh is acting like I'm going to go into labor any minute now

I want to do a trial run with mine, but between the two year old and the kittens (we have two that are about 8 weeks old) I don't think it would survive the trial run

I am at least going to have dh inflate it so I can get in and feel things out... will have to lock the kitties out of the bedroom for that...
