ABSTRACT:
An appliance for supporting a woman during childbirth includes a flexible supporting part of flat design for supporting the woman's back, buttocks and thighs. Attached to the supporting part are suspension elements by means of which the supporting part can be suspended. The supporting part preferably has a basic shape in the form of an elongate quadrilateral, with two longitudinal sides, a head side and a leg side. The leg side is bent in or recessed thereby forming two tabs which are intended for supporting the thighs and between which the child-bearing region in the vicinity of the woman's vagina remains freely accessible. By adjusting the suspension height of the head side or leg side, the position of the supporting part and therefore the woman's position can be selected, any position from an upright posture to a supine position being possible.
