Does anyone have a birth pool heat retaining cover they would consider selling?

Hi,

I purchased the Made in Water birthing pool from eBay and got a bargain at £50 (including all of the standard kit). The only thing missing is a heat retaining cover. I have looked online and although they are only £9.95, but the postage is £10 which I think seems a lot and I don't really want to pay £20 for one.

Bit of a long shot but does anyone have one they would consider selling?

Im not even sure if I'll use it but would like the option.

Thanks!

They keep heat really well without the cover. I don't think they make that much difference and I use la bassine pools with my clients all the time. Rarely use the cover. In fact I think it's been once in about 20 births!

You know the plastics dust sheets you can buy? One of those will be as good.

oh really? - thanks for the advice

We do have quite a lot of bubble wrap at the moment and I did think about taping some sheets together to act as a cover?
May just save myself the added expense!

thanks again

Bubble wrap DEFINTELY works. I used some spare foil lined bubble wrap to cover mine for my own birth. The type they insulate lofts with! Worked like a dream and I had to cool it down it get in it 12 hours after we filled it!!
