Abstract: An article for placement on a bed or other supporting surface and on which a pregnant woman's buttocks and lower back are supported during childbirth. A portion of the article defines a receptacle for the reception of fluids incident to childbirth. The receptacle is recessed to also provide a work area for the person performing the delivery. A raised portion of the article is concave along its upper surface to confine the buttocks against slippage. A relieved portion of the receptacle wall receives the head and neck of the child during removal of fluid from the respiratory system. Handgrips facilitate muscular contractions of the woman. An irregular surface on the underside of the article prevents slippage on a supporting surface.
