I'm planning on having a water birth and we were looking around the hospital today and I turned to my boyfriend and more joking than anything I said "Are you going to play in the pool with me" He laughed and said "I'm not allowed" bless him, he really thought that was the case. When I told him he would be he was surprised and we decided he should pack his swim shorts and we should see how it goes...this is even IF we get the birth pool.
But all the water births I've seen people don't to have their partners in the pool and I wondered if there was a specific reason why... are they more useful outside the pool? I think I'd possibly like him in the pool after the whole "fetch me some water!!" part, during the pushing...I think it'd be really comforting and valuable. He's happy to do whatever I want....problem is I don't know!
I guess we'll just go with the flow but just wondered whether anyone had their partner in the pool with them and what people's thoughts on it are?
