Whether it is 4D imaging or hearing your baby’s heartbeat through headphones, the miracles of the modern day mean technology is there to support you through this time.
Something as simple as a beanbag can support your body weight and help with those pregnancy aches and pains.
What can you use?

Did you know that as a woman’s pregnancy progresses, their centre of gravity changes? This can mean that the female suffers issues with pain in their lower back and pelvis, brought on by the extra weight of carrying a child around.
Beanbags can provide support, which will help alleviate these symptoms.

If you are having a home birth, this birthing mat is a sanitary, comfortable way to make your labour experience as relaxing as it possibly can be!
And don’t forget, disposable sheets are available so that this birthing mat fully complies with all medical standards.
This mat comes fully sealed, with high-frequency welding to prevent any fluids soaking into the beans inside, and to control the spread of infection as per hospital standards.

They come in three different sizes:
• Small – 4ft x 4ft
• Medium – 5ft x 5ft
