The Birth Sling by Dr Jess Michaels®

About

What Is The Birth Sling? The Birth Sling is a new take on an ancient birthing tool designed to support upright and active movement throughout pregnancy and birth. From 20 weeks pregnant, it can be used to support daily movement, help create space through the maternal body and pelvis, and encourage optimal fetal positioning as your baby grows. Developed by Osteopath and mum of two Dr Jess Michaels®, it offers gentle, secure support so women can move freely and intuitively, staying comfortable and connected to their bodies. Why Is It Beneficial for Labor and Birth? Research shows that upright positions in labor can reduce the need for interventions, shorten the overall duration of labour, and promote more efficient uterine contractions. The Birth Sling encourages mobility, eases pressure on the lower back and pelvis, and enhances your body’s ability to work with your baby’s descent. By supporting spontaneous movement, it helps create more space in the pelvis and supports baby into a more optimal position for birth. Whether you’re labouring on land or in water, The Birth Sling provides grounded, stable support so you can follow your instincts, stay mobile, and work with your body’s physiology. A Modern Tool with Ancient Roots The Birth Sling by Dr Jess Michaels® revolutionises the birthing experience with a groundbreaking yet intuitive design. Inspired by ancient practices and reimagined through a modern, evidence-aligned lens, it offers unparalleled support for upright birth. This unique tool helps minimise unnecessary interventions by supporting natural alignment, instinctive movement, and physiological birth pathways.
