The structure of the device necessary for changing and maintaining the mother's birth position during the delivery of a newborn baby

Abstract

To provide a structure of a device necessary for changing and maintaining the position of a mother's body at the time of birth when a pregnant woman gives birth to a newborn, in order to alleviate pain and labor pain of the pregnant woman at the time of birth as much as possible. [Solution] This birthing furniture features a series of equipment including a birthing seat 1 shaped like a horse's saddle with a round opening for the newborn to pass through, a place in front of the birthing seat 1 that is easy for the mother to hold on to to keep her position stable, a grab bar 2 located in front of the birthing seat 1, a strainer 3 below the birthing seat 1 to pass through the amniotic fluid and placenta etc. that are discharged during childbirth, and a tray 4 to catch the amniotic fluid, placenta etc. that has fallen through the strainer 3. In order to minimize the pain experienced by the pregnant woman during childbirth, the birthing method, which requires the mother to lie supine, is changed to a sitting position, which allows the newborn to be born downward in accordance with gravity and also allows the baby to be born with her legs spread apart, which makes it easier for the mother's pelvis to open during childbirth and allows for a smoother birth, thereby easing the pain experienced by the pregnant woman during childbirth.

Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This device is a device that helps a pregnant woman change her position and maintain that position when giving birth to a newborn. [Background technology]

[0002] Traditionally, pregnant women have given birth in a supine position, and obstetricians have encouraged women to give birth in this position, up to the present day. In Australia and other countries, there is a method called water birth, which is thought to be a good method of giving birth as it reduces the burden on the pregnant woman. However, the preparations required are extensive and difficult. In Japan, the most common position for giving birth is in the supine position. Giving birth in the supine position encourages birth from above, diagonally upward or horizontally, against gravity, and it is physiologically irrational and extremely difficult as it makes it difficult for the mother to exert force on her abdomen when in the supine position. Encouraging birth in an unnatural position is thought to increase the burden on the pregnant woman and exacerbate her pain. In the past, the burden during childbirth was so great that there have been cases where the mother died. The problem that this device aims to solve

[0003] This invention aims to reduce the pain of pregnant women during childbirth by changing the birthing method from a supine position to a sitting position, allowing for birth to proceed smoothly and making it easier for pregnant women to apply pressure to their abdomen during childbirth, making it safer and reducing pain during childbirth.

[0004] This device is a device designed to maintain this sitting position during childbirth, and aims to reduce the pain and strain on pregnant women during childbirth. [Technical Field]

[0005] This device was devised to change the method of birthing in a supine position to one in which the mother gives birth in a sitting position, and even to one in which the mother gives birth while sitting with her legs spread apart, in order to reduce the pain and discomfort experienced by pregnant women during childbirth.

[0006] This device was devised to make the pain and labor pains of pregnant women during childbirth as light as possible, by changing the supine position to a sitting position for childbirth, in other words, maintaining the cowgirl-type birthing position.

[0007] By using the assistive device of this invention, the expectant mother can open her pelvis more easily as she approaches childbirth with her legs spread apart, making it easier for her to apply pressure to her abdomen during labor, reducing pain and ensuring a safer and smoother birth, and also facilitating disposal of amniotic fluid, placenta, etc. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0008] The structure of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings showing the best mode for carrying out the invention.

[0009] An example of the procedure will be described below, but the present invention is not limited to this description and procedure.

[0010] Figure 1 is a perspective view of the device in assembly. To use this device, the expectant mother approaches the device from the front and sits on the birthing stool (1) with her legs spread, as if straddling a horse's saddle. The expectant mother sits relaxed on the birthing stool (1) with her legs spread, and holds the front grab bar (2) to stabilize her upper body, guiding her torso until she is ready to give birth. The midwife reaches out to receive the newborn baby over a strainer (3) installed under the birthing stool (1), and then lifts it up, completing the birth. The placenta and amniotic fluid expelled during birth fall through the strainer (3) installed under the birthing stool (1) into a tray (4) below, which is then removed and disposed of. A relaxed birth allows the expectant mother's pelvis to open more easily, allowing for smoother labor and less pain during labor. The height of the birthing seat (1) should be such that when the expectant mother sits on the birthing seat (1) with her legs spread apart, the soles of her feet can comfortably touch the floor, which is the height that allows the expectant mother to give birth in the most relaxed manner.The birthing seat (1), strainer (3), tray (4), etc. can be removed for the next user, washed, and dried to keep them clean.
