AliasBirthing Chair PROBLEM

The World Health Organisation has said giving birth laying fat on our backs is harm uland needs to be eradicated. All doctors and midwives know it’s harm ul, yet the majorityo women in the West are still giving birth this way. Laying fat only came about due tobetter access or doctors, not because it was the right thing to do or mother and baby.

OPPORTUNITYKneeling and squatting are the two most widely used birth positions in the world,and it’s how we’ve given birth or hundreds o years. These upright positions havebeen medically proven to speed up labour, widen the pelvic outlet, reduce vaginaltearing and reduce severe birth pain, yet we’re still laying on the bed. There isopportunity or a product that could acilitate a variety o upright positions, whilststill meeting the demands o doctors, midwives and a medical environment.
