I’m so excited! My birth pool arrived yesterday. I got the Sevylor Electra!
Now that I’m 27 weeks, I’m realizing I’ve got to get moving on these things. I’ve still got a few more supplies to get before the waterbirth will be a go.
1. To fill and drain the pool, I will need 2 aquarium hoses (which is drinking-water quality & 25ft).
2. A faucet adapter for the faucet in your sink to attach the hose.
3. A fill and drain pump. (1300 Water Pump)
4. A fishy net.
5. Floating thermometer.
6. Tarp.
And that will be my birth pool kit.

If its close enough you can also hook the hose to your washing machine. And I think RV hoses can sometimes be cheaper than aquarium hoses and are also drinking water safe.
