  • Publication number: 20100004660
    Abstract: A birthing aid includes a continuous band of resilient stretchable tubular material, such as surgical tube or an exercise bungee cord. The band includes opposing intermediate sections forming a leg sling, and opposing end sections forming integral loop handles on ends of the leg sling. A soft tubular sheet cover covers the intermediate sections. By this arrangement, the birthing aid is extremely well adapted to comfortably engage and resiliently support a mother's thigh and leg, while also being aesthetically pleasing to the mother while letting the mother focus on child delivery. Further, when properly used, the child delivery is greatly assisted by the birthing aid helping to properly position the mother's pelvic and other bones related to childbirth, and also causing the mother to naturally focus on appropriate muscle action (often called “pulling” versus “pushing”).
