Comfortable upright birth: an introduction to the CUB support
A short Birthsparks introduction to the Comfortable Upright Birth support, with prompts for discussing birth equipment and positioning.

A starting point for your own questions
Use the film as a way to see what the product is, not as an independent comparison or a promise about birth outcomes. Availability, suitability and use of any birth equipment are things to discuss with your midwife or maternity service. You do not need to buy a particular product to use the rest of BumpOnIt's guidance or wishlists.
Questions to take to your maternity team
- What positioning and comfort options are available in my planned birth setting?
- Would this equipment be appropriate for my circumstances?
- Who can explain safe use, cleaning and any limitations before labour?
