Home Waterbith

Hi, i am planning on having baby at home in a pool, i have the option of hiring a birth pool from the hospital or somewhere similar which are specifically designed for birhting in, however, i also thought about buying a pool, which would be about the same price maybe a bit cheaper like the intex brand pool, only concern is that the sides are not as strong as i wont be able to lean on them - does anyone have any advice or pros and cons or what they have used
thanks heaps

I just bought a pool from Payless Plastics, they are bigger in circumference than an actual ''birth pool " so use a bit more water. It was great and I thinkit cost us $50 . Hubby pumped it up till the sides were quite firm and they were perfect to lean on, I had no problems whatsoever, and boy was I leaning lol.
I know a few ladies who have also used pools from The Warehouse.

Good on you for going for a home waterbirth, I had one in January and it the best experience
