I think my midwife just used her hand. Have you spoken to your midwife? Maybe they have their own thermometers, or can recommend one.

I did ask but she just said well if you struggle to find one I usually have mine on me. That was it really. She just said try boots. I saw one but was reluctant to spend £30 and it not be the right one. IYKWIM

You can get quick cheap children's thermometers that you use for baby's baths.
