I'm looking at options of birthing pools for my homebirth and I was just wondering if I could use a normal blow up pool and use a liner?

There is no reason why you couldnt, I would imagine though that the actual birthing pools are designed for birthing, so higher (I know that I leaned on mine the whole time I was birthing) and potentially are thicker. Im not sure though. I bought a Made in Water one that was excellent.

Thats the one I have the option of hiring but my friend has offered to lend me her blow up pool (its a big one) and I just need to get a liner
