Hey all, I'm planning another home birth, possibly in a birthing pool.
My last attempt with the pool didn't go well due to low water pressure and not getting it pumped up until I was very close to the actual birth, haha. We've since moved and have excellent water pressure and temperature!
I'm thinking of taking over the dinning room and making it my "safe haven". I didn't have any thrills last time and it was perfect for us then, but having being 5 years since my last birth I want something a bit more soothing.
My doula friend recently gave birth in water with candles and fairy lights, music, birth affirmations etc. I'm thinking along a similar line but maybe somewhat more simple.
Previous home birthday/water birthed, have you made yourselves a space, or have ideas for this time around? Xx
