Wow- ouch but wow! This is my first so I'm going for a hospital birth but there might be a birthing pool available if I'm lucky... hmm.

It's quite funny actually as I was just looking at the photos at work in the library and one of the students saw my face and said "Why so serious?!" Why indeed...? Are you sure babies can't just be beamed out like on Star Trek...?

Fantastic photos- thanks!

I would like a water birth but our hospital only has one pool to 7 delivery rooms, so the chances of getting in there are pretty slim


That baby looks a big 8.8lb doesn't she? I'm really worried about pushing something that big out

 

We have one birthing pool room out of 8 in my hospital BUT! I'm gonna phone well in advance and make sure the woman is out of there

Good find Paradysso - that's amazing (and a little frightening!!!).

I'm still interested in a water birth, though may think about using it just for labour!!
