"Upright labour positioning is associated with quicker labour times, a decrease in the rate of intervention and a 25% decrease in primary caesarean rate" (Gams, et al 2019)
The Birth Sling was lovingly created for Birthing Mamas and Birth Workers as a way to support upright and active labour positions no matter where you chose to birth.
Let customers speak for us
Great customer service. My initial order arrived with a grease stain on the fabric and they immediately sent out a replacement when I contacted them about the issue. Much appreciated, since I am nearing the end of my pregnancy and plan on using the sling during my labor. Thanks again!
What a game changer for labour. Having an active labour was really important to me and this beautifully designed tens machine allowed me to do that. Highly recommend the investment for any mama wanting to support their labour and birth with natural pain relief and not interfere with the birthing process.
I was contemplating buying the sling for so long. I’m 34 weeks pregnant and I've been using it daily to release tension in my hips. It’s a fantastic item. Also, haven’t really started using the tens machine, however, I did try it out and looking forward to using it in labour.
I bought both the styles of hat The Birth Sling had on their website. They are excellent quality and so comfy to wear. It's funny how many compliments I get from other mums, they all LOVE them. They were delivered on time and all communications from The Birth Sling were excellent.
As a doula trainer, I use the birth sling as a teaching tool with my students. It encourages them to be creative when they practice positions for labor and it's so much fun! Everybody wants to have a go with the Birth Sling! They will share this knowledge and practice with their clients, thereby offering them additional options and choices. The Birth Sling broadens our vision of what labor can look like.
Our baby flew out like a cannon ball after using the birth sling!
I originally saw the birth sling when it first had been launched. It definitely spiked my interest. I used it for my second pregnancy, and throughout my really difficult posterior homebirth. It was magical. It gave my support team a rest from holding me up. It was the best thing for my birth. Now im using in my practice as a birth worker 🤍
I love the birth sling and use it every day for preparing for my homebirth. My plan is to use it while giving birth too. And the plus point for me is that I can use it outdoor too!
Love the birth sling! Used it with the labor positions video during pregnancy then during labor. It helped me release my pelvic floor and prepare for birth. Loved the support and flexibility it provided. Lots of positive feedback from hospital staff as well. Delivered my 9.5lb baby with no tearing, and I believe preparing and laboring using the birth sling assisted in that achievement.
I ordered my birth sling and something happened with delivery with Auspost. Auspost wasn't very helpful, but the team at Birth Sling were so lovely - even though it wasn't their problem to rectify, they sent out another birth sling. The sling itself is great and you're buying from a supportive Aus business.
The birth sling was a game changer! When I was pregnant with my 3rd baby, I knew I wanted an unmedicated birth (had epidurals with the others). I also needed a game plan for staying upright & active as I experience my contractions down my legs, which previously left me struggling labour in most positions other than side lying.
The birth sling was the perfect solution for letting my body hang, relaxing into the contractions rather than fighting them. I anchored the sling on the door, and leant forward and upright on a gym ball with the sling around my chest.
I felt held, and secure. My labour was very quick, less than 2 hours from cramping to birth, my husband didn’t have a chance to support me much, the sling felt like a support person.
We ended out birthing our baby in the giant boot of our car not far from the hospital.
So thankful this exists & love how easy it was to use at home just anchored on a door!
