The Birth Sling - 8 week hire

$65

The Birth Sling has been coined 'a game changer for active birth positioning’. It was lovingly created by Osteopath, birth worker and new mum Jess Michaels.

"Women have used tools such as ropes, hammocks, and slings to assist them in labour for centuries; this really is just a new and convenient take on these ancient and intuitive methods used by our ancestors. Upright and active labour can have massive benefits for Mother and baby." says Jess

The Birth Sling is an amazing tool to encourage upright and active birth no matter where you choose to birth.

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)​

How does hire work?

By letting me know your guess date, you will receive the Birth Sling at 36 weeks gestation and all you have to do is return it by the end of the 8th week of hire, using the prepaid return sticker and box it comes in.

Local pick up is available from Waikerie, if you prefer.
