Birthing pool

[Lovisa]

Hi all I was wondering if anyone had a birthing pool to rent to me or wanted to sell, as I have now decided to have a home birth and wanted to use a birthing pool.

If no one has one to sell or rent to myself, can anyone advise me of somewhere I can get one cheap.

A big thanks in advance, for any replies.

I bought mine second hand - same as renting effectively. Look out on ebay. If you want to rent a posh one with a heater etc let me know and I'll ask a friend who did that.

Thank you for getting back to me hun, I actually went on ebay briefly this morning. Hopefully I can trust using ebay for this sort of thing as even though they are not as expensive buying from them, then if I bought brand new the ones I saw were quite pricey.
Did you buy yours from ebay and did you manage to use it? Would you recommend it?
Would you mind asking your friend about the heated one please so I can get an research a bit more i.e whats the best one and how much heated ones are.
All the best

I bought mine from a friend and it was a La Bassine pool. I loved it and highly recommend them even at full price brand new. We filled and covered it at 9am (waters broke at 8am) and I didnt get in till 8pm and it was still so hot it needed cooling before I got in! I laboured in it till sometime between 11pm and midnight but got out to give birth, which was always my intention

I'll come back to you on the fancy heated ones

Also you could try these. I deal with this company at the hospital and they have been excellent.
