Birth ball cover
I saw once,a birth ball cover that you could put on the ball & it had straps so you could use it as a back pack for going into a hospital. That means (for me at least) that I can fill my 2 free hands with my birth bag,coat,file etc...... I so need one of these,my probelm is I don't have the web site for it anymore. Do anyone of you know?

I've seen one in use and it was kinda like a sling, that's the kind I want 
Tashine, I'm so glad your back!  I hope you all are well.

Yeah, the DONA strap is such a joke. Totally useless. The BEST one I have is like a drawstring sack the whole ball fits in. It has a handle on it that I can put over my shoulder (with the ball on my back - think Santa Claus!) or (what I usually do) over the handle of my rolling duffle that is my birth bag.

I recently made one for myself- just a modified sling, really- DH thought I should market it under a name I won't repeat here. All I can say is, he laughed and said , "Hey, I have one of those! But mine carries TWO!"
I just took a 24 inch by 1.5 yard piece of fabric, wrapped it around the ball and sewed the darts to curve it, then put a drawstring on each side of the opening. I carry it by the drawstring ribbon. I once put the drawstrings over my shoulders but that was not too comfortable. Maybe if I modified it a little or used thicker straps for the drawstring that would be fine. I take it out for clients to use, though. I am thinking of making one that fully covers the ball made with fabric and PUL so it is waterproof, soft, and washable.

Oh, meant to add you can also tie your rebozo around the ball and carry it that way.
