Oh, congratulations! If you don't mind, it would be really interesting to hear your responses to using this. Water birth (waterbirth?) is one of those things where I have Total Imagination Failure, so I have to rely on the experiences of others to learn about this. :)
*nods* You might like the new book, actually. It's called Choosing Waterbirth, by Lakshmi Bertram, and she had all five of her children in water, so it's all from her personal experiences, rather than being a strongly evidence-based argument. (Those can be found elsewhere.) I like the idea of a shorter labor, though...
That's AWESOME!!!! :-D I wanted nothing but to get in the water when I was in labor. I labored in the tub while we were still at home (before we realized it wasn't a false alarm). I think using the tub in the basement would be kinda cool if your basement is comfy - then you've got kind of a birth den :-D Yeah. Totally can't wait till Baby #2, lol.
I was happy with the win (and also that it didn't become a big bidding war). Lots of people seem really drawn to the water, which is why I wasn't sure it was for me, since I didn't feel that way. But who knows, it doesn't hurt to have the option there
