I just want to hang...

So, I have reflected a lot on my birth and what bothered me the most was that I couldn't find a position I felt comfortable in. I didn't want to hold myself up anymore, but I didn't want to lay down on the ground either.

Since then, I remember hearing that Penny Simkin suggested having a birth sling and I've even seen pictures of it. It sounds wonderful! To hang during your birthing, I think this is exactly what I would have loved!

However, when I went online to find out more about it and find some pictures, I really came up with nothing!

So, does anyone out there know where you could get a birth sling? I don't know if I will birth anymore babies, but I would love to have it as a resource for the parents that I work with.

I can't be the only mom that wanted to hang during her birthing can I? Hmmmm, maybe I'm just different. But there's gotta be other "different" people out there!
