"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
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!
The birth sling not only got me through a very uncomfortable and painful pregnancy but it proved to be the most supportive labour tool. I was able to get into so many comfortable positions to help move baby into the right position and support a calm, beautiful birthing experience. I’ve gifted the birth sling to friends and truly believe it’s an absolute must. The daily moves class Jess has created using the sling prepares your body for birth beautifully and helps with many aches and pains associated with pregnancy. I cannot recommend it enough!
This sling was AMAZING for prep getting baby low, then for the first part of my active labour using its to just hang… my husband also benefited from not needing to hold me up as the sling did this so he could be present with holding my hand and doing hip pressure ect highly recommend this product, beautiful material, really well made and a game changer for birth…
I have been using the birth sling for nearly 2.5 years with all of my doula clients in the US. We have seen shorter labors and fewer cesarean sections with those clients who stay upright and use the sling to support them. It’s sturdy and comfortable and feels so good. My clients love it and it makes a HUGE difference for my work as a doula!
The birth sling has been an absolute god send throughout my pregnancy! Such a game changer for all mummas-to-be.
Not only does it promote upright, active positioning, which is linked to quicker labor and fewer interventions but it also provides incredible support and comfort as my body changes and grows.
I’ve been so comfortable in my body thoughout this pregnancy because I’ve had the chance to move intuitively while feeling totally supported, stretching out any kinks and even strengthening with some supportive body-weight exercises I can do with it. It’s been a beautiful way to bond with my baby, encouraging movement and connection for us both. Plus, knowing that I’m preparing for a more empowered birth keeps me motivated and excited. Can’t wait to see how this will enhance my birthing journey when the big day comes! Thank you for honouring the wisdom of generations before us and making this accessible to us all!
I utilised the birth sling in late pregnancy with my twins when my body needed the movement but I couldn’t quite get into the positions I needed. It was the only tool that made this easy for me to move independently. I also used the birth sling at the hospital during active labour to support upright positioning and movement which I loved. Now a few weeks postpartum, I plan to use the birth sling to stretch and move my body gently while I continue to heal. I can’t speak highly enough of the quality and ease of use. I recommend this tool for any woman wanting additional support to move and stay upright during pregnancy and labour.
I used the Birth Sling during my sixth pregnancy and again during labor and it made a huge difference. At over 40 weeks, I was dealing with major pelvic girdle pain, and the sling gave me fast, effective relief. It helped align my baby, reduced pressure, and made me feel physically supported and mentally ready for labor.
When the time came, I used it during labor too and it ended up being my easiest, most pain free birth yet. I felt strong, confident, and completely in control. I only wish I had found this with my earlier pregnancies. This product is a must-have for any expecting mom!
