  • Hello,

    I am new to these forums so I'm not quite sure where everything is yet and where I should be posting things etc. I am mum to a 4yo girl and a 2yo boy and am 36 weeks pregnant with our 3rd. I am also at uni.

    I'm currently looking for a birth pool to buy but am not having much luck really, someone mentioned that somebody over here might be able to help me out and point me in the direction of where I could get one relatively cheap?

    angelcakes - have you tried your local netmums listings/wanted ads? I know some people have gotten theirs that way. Alternatively, you can find some sellers on eBay.

    wow. i dunno wat got into me, i went to help Katie on the loo, and put Christopher down for a powernap and ended up totally decluttering the bathroom. I did Katie's and Christophers room last week and kina half heartedly did my own.
    Want to do normal cleaning, then do a declutter in the toyroom amd a quick scoot rounf the living room.
    just feedin the kids, then puttint htem for a nap and i can get on uninterrupted for a while. hopefully have time to make my spinach and potato bake aswellll.
    sorryfor listing there, think it was more for me than anything.

    Hello angelcakes :)

    We did a massive hunt around for the cheapest birth pool options a while ago, and I think there was an ebay seller who worked out cheapest. I think it's on the last Parents Club thread - let me look and I'll post it in a minute.

    What day are you supposed to give Easter Eggs? Is it Sunday? I haven't got one for Keira yet, oops! I might do an online shop later though so should come tomorrow maybe....

    Away to the shops with Keira, I look like a mink, my hair is fushty and tied back in a scruffy bun but at least I'll fit in with the neighbourhood trend today. Think me and the bop will swing by the park for a bit too but if that horrid little girl is there we won't be, she has me spitting thistles. Last time she told me her mum was going to batter me, and I was like "go on then number 33!"

    Glad she didn't come to my door though, she is big and scary looking and wears tracksuits....:eek:

    OK, the cheapest of the non-ebay ones was £99.99 for the full package, but there are loads on ebay so if there's one close to you for pickup that might work out cheaper. I imagine time is important to you with you being 36 weeks already so maybe the ecopool people are the better option?
