Definitions

  • the object of the present invention is a device for supporting and sheltering the user during labour, the expulsion stage and immediate postpartum that incorporates a series of advantages over the current devices and supports used for this purpose.
  • the device provides a structure with support elements where the future mother can rest without having to maintain the weight of her body in a position that is relaxing for her and the foetus, and which also helps during labour.
  • the future mother can gain strength by resting for a few moments in a comfortable position given her state and thus be able to continue moving if she later wishes with renewed energy.
  • the structure also comprises means for adopting a position that makes it possible to push out the baby in the device itself.
  • the structure of the device has a warm immediate postpartum retreat area for mother and baby that will facilitate skin-to-skin contact as well as the start of breastfeeding.
  • the field of application of the present invention falls within the maternity and childcare sector, focusing specifically on the industry dedicated to the manufacture of systems, apparatus, devices and elements for accompanying childbirth, in particular natural childbirth.
  • the device of the present invention solves this problem by establishing a device where the future mother can rest without having to maintain the weight of her body in a position that is relaxing for her and the foetus, and which also helps during labour.
  • Document ES-0277489_A3 relates to a device for a birthing bed.
  • the mother is placed on her back and in a horizontal position, the posture does not help the future mother with natural birth or labour, and it is only more comfortable for the healthcare personnel, although it greatly hinders birth from a physiological point of view.
  • the invention consists of a device for supporting and sheltering the user during labour, the expulsion stage and immediate postpartum that, in addition to offering a series of support points that provide a resting position for the future mother during the dilation stage and the expulsion stage, it offers a shelter area for the mother and baby, once childbirth is complete.
  • the device is configured from a structure, at the upper end of which it comprises a head support structure, preferably with a padded area as a head support pad, in the shape of a circle and with a centre hole to allow the mother to breathe in the resting position.
  • a head support structure preferably with a padded area as a head support pad, in the shape of a circle and with a centre hole to allow the mother to breathe in the resting position.
  • Below the head support structure it has a preferably L-shaped forearm support structure (2a) and (2b).
  • the lower portion of the structure has an element for supporting the knees and also preferably the quadriceps and calves, which allows the kneeling mother to be in a relaxed position during the dilation stage.
  • the element for supporting the knees can be folded, which makes it possible to leave it in an extended position, establishing a substantially horizontal platform that allows the mother to squat over the same when pushing out the baby.
  • the element for supporting the knees is V-shaped.
  • the device object of the invention preferably comprises a structure defining a body in the shape of a hollow spherical cap, generating a concavity that constitutes a warm retreat area for the mother to place herself in the immediate postpartum, which will facilitate skin-to-skin contact as well as the start of breastfeeding.
  • the left lateral side of the body in the shape of a hollow spherical cap has a padded wall, to allow the mother to rest on it.
  • the body in the shape of a hollow spherical cap optionally has a padded lower portion of the wall of the immediate postpartum retreat area, so that the mother and baby are supported and to facilitate breastfeeding, optionally there is also a space for the mother's legs, a receptacle to place the placenta that allows late clamping of the umbilical cord, and a large entrance area in said retreat area which has a system that allows a curtain to be installed that can close the entrance to promote the privacy of mother and baby and reduce the amount of light that enters, favouring lighting conditions and conditions for retreat that are more similar to the mother's womb and can make the newborn feel calmer.
  • one or more of the support elements of the different parts of the user's body of the device object of the invention are adjustable in order to adapt to the different dimensions of each user's body.
  • This device solves the problems of future mothers who are in labour and do not have a place to rest during the long hours that a birth can last, which requires great physical, mental and emotional effort and requires moments of relaxation between contractions so that the future mother can regain strength.
  • the figures show the structure of the device, in its support function: in the rest or labour position ( Figure 1 ) and in the position of pushing out the baby ( Figure 2 ), and in its shelter function: an immediate postpartum position ( Figure 3 ).
  • Figures 1 and 3 show how the device (15), which is configured from a structure defining a body in the shape of a hollow spherical cap, where the upper end has a structure with a head support pad (5), in the shape of a circle and with a centre hole; where the lower portion of said head support pad has an L-shaped forearm support structure (2a) and (2b), which is shown in Figure 2 ; where the left lateral side of the body of the device constitutes a padded wall (3) to facilitate the lateral support of the mother. Furthermore, the lower portion of said body has a folding padded knee support element (1), which has a V-shape when it is in a folded rest position, serving to support the user's quadriceps, knees and calves ( Figure 1 ).
  • the intermediate area of the spherical body has an inner concavity that constitutes an inner cavity suitable for accommodating the reclining mother, for the shelter function in the immediate postpartum position, as shown in Figure 3 .
  • Figure 2 shows the horizontal platform (6) configured when the folding support element (1) has been made to move from the "V” position to the extended position due to the fact that it has a joint at the vertex of said "V” that allows said folding, allowing the mother to squat over said platform (6) at the time of pushing out the baby.
  • Figure 3 shows the device (15) in its shelter function, in the immediate postpartum position, where the intermediate area of the spherical body has a concavity that constitutes an inner cavity and has a padded lower portion (7) of the inner wall (12) of the immediate postpartum retreat area, so that the mother and baby are supported, and to facilitate breastfeeding, and there is a space for the mother's legs (8), a receptacle for the placenta (9), and a large entrance area (10) on the right lateral portion thereof, and also a curtain (13) that promotes the privacy of the mother and baby.
  • the V-shaped folding padded support element (1) of the lower portion for kneeling support of the mother, the horizontal platform (6) and the vertical chest support structure (4) with the two arm supports (2a, 2b) are adjustable in position, in order to adapt to the different dimensions of each woman's body.
  • the spherical body of the device (15) is supported on legs (11) with wheels.
  • the invention is industrially applicable, using mainly two materials for the same: roto-moulded plastic and aluminium for the structure of the device (15), and synthetic plastic for the padding (14); of the padded lateral (3) for the side, of the structure for the upper chest (4) or arms (2a, 2b) and of the padding (5) for the head.
