My Birth pool Arrived ;)

[Natural mamma]

My birth pool got here today. Midwife is coming tomorrow to leave homebrth kit. Mostly i am really excited, as i don't know what i'm having.. Then i think of the afterpains with baby 4 and get really nervous......I'm hoping the six year age gap will have allowed my womb to be normal about having another baby...Its like i go into labour again afterwards for about 6 hours...(it was so bad last time the mw let me still use the g&a)

I also hope i get the birth pool up and running. I've never had a water birth. I live in old cottage with a dodgey ancient hot water system. But thankfully i do have an Aga i intend using for heating up big pans of water. Fingers crossed

I also had bad after pains with my second, to be honest they hurt more than the labour

Good luck with your homebirth,im also planning one but i prefer to be dry. Have you had one before?

I had a water birth but in hospital and it was fab really took the edge off the back pain.

How exciting getting the birth pool! Bet that makes it all seem very real!

I'm getting a bit worried about these nasty 2nd baby after pains I keep hearing about!

they get worse with each baby. Mine were horrendous after Sam and the doctor told me if I had a fourth they'd be even worse
