birthing stool
Labor support chair
A birthing stool is a chair or seat designed for women to sit on during childbirth, allowing gravity to assist delivery.
These stools typically have an open or U-shaped seat and were common before the widespread adoption of hospital beds for labor.
Modern versions are sometimes used in home births or by midwives favoring upright birthing positions.
