need help quickly re how to heat a birthing pool

[karla1]

hello ladies

well i am planning a home water birth (already have the pool and MW is happy with everything) problem is my boiler has broken and now although i have heating i have NO HOT WATER and boiling pans and kettles would take hours to fill the pool (i am guessing) so is there any heaters out there i can buy or hire that will allow me to heat the pool if i filled it with cold water

or

has anyone filled a birthpool in a box using pans and kettles and if so how long did it take?

i am really panicking about it now as i have been having contraction on and off for the past 2 days so think its close and we dont get paid until 20th april so can get the boiler fixed until then

dont forget it should be body temp not boiling so if you used pans and your kettle then you would still hae to add a fair ammount of cold water too. prehepse your next door neighbour would be kind enough to let you fill some bottles with there hot water?
