The Birth Sling, which has been coined “a game changer for active birth positioning” is a birthing tool created by Osteopath, birth worker and new mum Jess Michaels. 

“It was something I initially created to use for our own birth in May 2021. I then realised the huge potential and benefit of having a product like this available to labouring women and decided to go for it and get the product manufactured!! In just a few months since The Birth Sling’s first official launch in February 2022 it has been purchased by pregnant mothers and birth workers in more than 12 different countries around the world. It amazes me to think that The Birth Sling has reached and impacted women and families across the globe and that it has helped those pursuing active and natural birth options. 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. Emerging research is showing that it is associated with reduced rate of intervention such as C-section”.
