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!
