Birth and Labour Comb

Natural Pain Relief For Birth and Labour - Sunny Jacks Birth Comb

How does it work?

Well have you heard of acupressure?

Acupressure applies pressure on specific points on the body to treat health problems naturally and restore the harmonious flow of energy. There are several pressure points you can use for relief during labour but perhaps the easiest way would be to hold a comb that hits those points for you.

The soft wooden teeth of the comb are held to the base of the fingers which helps to relieve pain. It also plays a part in the pain gate theory where it distracts the brain into focusing away from contractions and towards the sensation in the hand.

Even if you are a little skeptical, it’s worth a try before you consider more invasive pain relief isn’t?

Also great for cesarean births, whichever way you choose to birth your baby our comb can provide some distraction from pain and anxiety.

How do I use It?

Place the comb in your palm, teeth of comb to your palm and grip. You might find that you won’t need the comb until active labour, when your contractions are strong enough that you can’t talk through them, and you need all of your brain to focus. This is a good time to use the birth comb.

Don’t forget to tell your birth support crew to give you the comb because you may forget to ask for it.

And remember, you got this Mama!
