Product Description
'CUB' Comfortable upright birth support
The CUB is a comfortable, versatile, inflatable support designed to help mothers adopt and maintain positions that are physically the most helpful for them and their babies during labor and birth.
When the mother is in an upright position it can help the baby to be in the best (easiest) position for birth, making more space within her pelvis than if she is semi sitting or lying on her back.
Current research has shown that this can make labor shorter and giving birth easier as well as increase safety for the mother and her baby by reducing the risks of complications during birth.
The CUB can be used throughout labor as a comfortable support, either to sit on, rest on or lean over as well as to give birth to the baby on; suitable for use in maternity hospitals, birth centres or at homebirths.
Advantages of using CUB
- It has a wide, stable base specifically designed to create stability, as well as increase safety
- Can be adjusted in height and used in a wide variety of positions without any additional support
- Made to enhance your experience throughout the whole process
- CUB was invented specifically for use during pregnancy, labor and birth
Designed and used by Healthcare Professionals
The CUB is frequently promoted by pre-natal teachers, Doulas, Midwives, LD Nurses and OBGYN’s

Better with labor and birthYour baby will cope better with labor and birth and will be less distressed, 54% less incidence of fetal heart abnormalities |
Less labor stagesThe length of the first stage of your labor, between 3-10 centimetres can be significantly reduced by up to 50% and a shorter second stage (pushing stage) of labor |
Safer optionYou are 23% less likely to need a medically assisted birth. More space, less distress and a shorter labour results in fewer necessary intervention |

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
The storage bag needs to be bigger, but that’s my only criticism of the overall product.
As long as the people with you make sure it's staying firm and air tight, this thing is awesome.
As got the birth, it was my primary tool. I did not sit on it but I did lean on it hands and knees to push my baby out. Best birthing position out of my 3 births. It was 100% worth it in the end.

Excellent seller. The instruction leaflet wasn’t included in the box (not their fault), but they speedily sent me one, called to make sure I could get a digital copy meanwhile and even included a sweet gift for baby to compensate. Amazing service.
