This special, midwife-designed Birthing Seat feels natural and
supportive. It enables the woman to remain upright and empowered
throughout her birthing experience. A broad seat area provides safe,
comfortable support for all body shapes.
Stability is an important
feature and is ensured by a broad, solid base. Stainless steel gripping
handles are precisely located to facilitate leverage and stability
whilst rocking or bearing down during labour (hence promoting the
woman's active role in the birthing process); they also act as carrying
handles for transporting the Seat from one location to another.
The design incorporates curved edges that allow the woman to place her
legs and feet well apart, giving ample room for the baby to be born.
Her thighs can roll outwards, thus opening up the birthing area. The
coccyx is unimpeded in its excursion as the baby's head descends. Being
seated on the BirthRite seat gives the mother more control during
crowning of her baby's head, reducing the possibility of injury to
perineum and vagina.
A special feature of the BirthRite Birthing Seat is the unique inclined
sitting surface which secures the labouring woman in an ideal posture,
the angle being carefully contrived to promote:
- optimal alignment of the baby in the birth passage: women
typically comment that they can instantly feel 'where the baby needs to
go' once they are seated on the BirthRite Seat
- beneficial movements of the pelvic bones
- less pressure on the perineum, and hence less perineal
engorgement, than with a horizontal surface
- complete relaxation of the woman when leaning into her partner or
the BirthRite Backrest Support
- perineal views and access that midwives find reassuring
Precision-manufactured in high impact fibreglass overlaid with
hospital-grade isophalic gelcoat, the BirthRite Seat is enduring and
satisfies stringent infection control requirements. The single-mould
design allows easy cleaning, using any currently appoved hospital
disinfectant. With no moving parts, it is reliable and requires minimal
maintenance.
The Seat is ideally placed on the BirthRite Floor Mat, but it can be
placed on all smooth surfaces from carpet to bathroom tiles and may
also be used under the shower if placed on a non-slip rubber mat. The
Birthing Seat is supplied with a cotton dust cover. For travel and
domiciliary use, a tailored Padded Pouch is also available.
The teaching film, "The BirthRite Experience", not only explains the
use of the Birthing Seat in detail but also serves as an inspiring
introduction to the world of holistic midwifery.
Lead time to order is 12-14 weeks. Please enquire for the total cost of the order including shipping as this will vary depending on the configuration purchased.

I delivered on one of these |
Date Posted: 06/09/2011 |
| I delivered my baby using a BirthRite Birthing Seat - I hadnt found a comfortable position to push productively. The midwife suggested using a birthing seat and it was amazing. Youre at just the right angle and the handles are in just the right place. Much more hygienic than the toilet that some people say is comfortable to labour on too!
Honestly- fabulous to use. |
