Unsecure chicken perches

[lisa33]

Hi all,

 

I don't know if anyone can help me or not.

 

My friend is planning on giving birth using a birthing pool. Having not had children nor ever planning too I can only imagine what this involves.

 

She has a very private question that she woul like answered but cannot seem to get an answer anywhere.

 

If anyone has used a birthing pool and are willing to answer this question please can you let me know. I will pm you with the query as I think it's not really suitable for the forum.

 

Any advise would be gratefully received.

 

Many thanks

What do you want to know? I've done 60 waterbirths and used pools for countless labours.

good grief

 

60 children, you must live in a shoe

 

(im assuming you are a midwife? )

Definately a midwife Cathy!!

 

I love waterbirths, they are SO amazing.

Mr Griffin was still filling up the birthing pool I'd bought to have our youngest in when she arrived I never got to set foot in it because my labour was 45 minutes long from start to finish! The pool was however the perfect height for leaning against whilst on my knees next to it so it kind of did serve a purpose, just not the one I'd envisaged

phew!

 

i have have a friend who had her son in a birthing pool, she said it was great highly recommended.

 

Griffin, bad luck about not getting in the pool, but I suppose a 45 min labour sort of makes up for it

I had DD in a hospital birthing pool 5 years ago. Happy to answer any questions - really found it fab. I have a bad back and it really helped.
