Birthing Stools help to open up the pelvis without having to stand and squat which can become very tiring. This makes Birthing Stools the perfect option for Mums who wish to have an active birth.
Most Mums know that lying on your back during labour is much harder work because you are trying to push your baby out up-hill, pushing against gravity. By being active and up-right during your labour you can use gravity to your advantage and help to push your baby out. After sometime in labour though alot of Mums find standing tiring, and kneeing can use discomfort too. By sitting on the stool, being in that upright position, can help to open up the pelvis but without you having to hold your own weight. Birthing Stools are also said to reduce tearing because of the optimium postion for delivery.
Our Stool has integral hand grips on the sides, is of a medium weight so very study, but easily carried around the house or hospital room to where ever you want to be. Comes with a removable dish to catch drips and save your floor covering from marks. If you use for third stage placenta delivery, it's particulary useful.
Lemon colour.

As with all our hire items if you need to cancel for a medical reason, anytime before your Stool is shipped, we guarantee you will receive 100% of your money back. Things do change in pregnancy and we understand this, which is why we would never keep your money if you have to cancel for a medical reason - i.e. you are not able to use the stool due to a planned C-Section. However, apart from a planned C-Section you should not need to cancel even if you are planning to have your baby in hospital, because the stool is so portable it can be taken anywhere! Just remember to bring it home please!
