Pregnancy and childbirth are very important moments in every woman's life. The uniqueness of these moments, however, is not only accompanied by joy, but often discomfort and pain. In order to minimise the discomforts associated with pregnancy and the birth itself, comfortable pouffes have appeared on the market of birthing accessories, which fulfil many tasks at the same time. The beanbag is a modern solution for pregnant women. It is used both at home and in professional birthing schools.
Advantages of the beanbag
The beanbag, due to its ergonomics, has a positive impact on the health and comfort of pregnant women. This product is made of ecological materials filled with polystyrene granules. Thanks to such a structure, the beanbag for pregnant women adapts to the shape of the spine and allows the muscles to relax. Flexible and resilient sacks will perfectly fulfil their role whenever we want to relieve pressure on the spine and relax tense muscles. It is worth remembering that the spine of pregnant women is subjected to an abnormal distribution of body weight, which in principle is always associated with back pain. The possibility of having at least part of the birth on a birthing bag is also advisable, as the bag allows you to adopt any position that is comfortable for you and relieves the strain on your tired body. Increasingly, delivery rooms are being equipped with sack bags, which are a great help during these important moments.
The postnatal period
Both natural childbirth and caesarean births are extremely demanding for the woman. A tired and aching body needs special treatment. The sitting position is often very uncomfortable for the young mother, which is simply alleviated with the help of soft cushions. However, these do not always bring the expected relief. A good solution is a sack for sitting, which allows the user to assume a comfortable position, relieving sore body parts. The ergonomic shape of the sack also makes it possible to feed the baby comfortably, both in the first days and later.
For infants and older children
Sitting beanbags are also recommended for babies. They bring relief to the baby during infantile colic or during illness. The beanbag wraps around the baby's body, making it feel safe. Interestingly, the bags also work well in the case of a baby's skull defect called plagiocephaly, or oblique head. For older children, they can be used as a comfortable chair for watching cartoons or as a place to rest.

Quality and price
When choosing a beanbag as a birth aid, it is worth paying attention to its quality. Strong stitching and high-quality fabric are very important in ensuring the comfort of the woman during childbirth. The energetic process of childbirth can put the bag to a test of endurance, which it should easily pass. How much does such a bag cost? The cost of buying a sack varies according to its size and the type of material used. For a smaller unit you will need to pay around £200, while for a larger one you will need to pay around £300.
