Hello everyone
Just wanted to ask if any of you would recommend giving birth in the pool. I'm 29weeks pregnant and I need to start thinking of birthing plan. First birth was with epidural forceps delivery total of 74hours.
Please let me know what you think of water births. Thanks
Delivery room Who all are you having in the room with you while giving birth?
Any of you ladies not having your mom come and help you right after birth.? Do you think it's abnormal for it to be Mom, Dad and baby.?
Vaginal birth For mamas who’ve had vaginal births, how long did you stay in the hospital after you gave birth? Did you leave same day or the day after?
Giving birth For those that went/chose to give birth without an epi, how did you do it?
Locking your doors We are having a discussion on one of my birth boards from my older kids about locking doors and security alarms. There are many of us (me included) who do not lock our doors at home (I actually don't even have a deadbolt on my house and we don't lock it when we leave either), and others who think that's totally weird. So what do you do? Do you lock your doors? Do you think it's weird that people don't?

Definitely. I had a pool birth, labour lasted 7 hour in total with 4.5 of them being in hospital and 3 of those being in the pool with gas and air for the last 40 minutes, zero assistance needed, only pushed for 15 minutes, I even caught my little boy myself. I also had zero stitches (I did get a tiny internal cut).
I know it's not always possible to have a pool birth, sometimes the pool is being used, but if you can I'd 100% give it a go! Xx
