I agree labor sometimes goes awry of plans but I felt much better having, at least, some idea of what I wanted to happen. I gave birth at a birthing center. I spent most of my labor on the yoga ball leaning on a bed. I thought I would love the hot tub but hated it! I used the exact birthing stool pictured but it ended up being way to big for me and I am pretty average (5'6", 130 before baby). I switched to a smaller 'home made' stool that worked A LOT better. My arms got really tired by the end but it was nice to have somehthing to hold onto and put my weight on. I would say find a birthing center, doula or midwife that has one and have a sit! See if it feels right before you invest. I also recomend the book and class Birthing From Within. If there is a class in your area take it, it was extremely helpfull for me. Have a beautiful birth and just remember that you can do it whatever happens!
