Why We Love Swedish Bars for Labor ✨

Swedish bars (aka wall bars or stall bars) are one of our favorite tools in the birth room — and here's why:

🤰 Support for Upright Positions: Staying upright in labor can help gravity do its thing! Swedish bars offer sturdy support for squatting, lunging, and leaning - all of which can encourage optimal fetal positioning and pelvic movement.

🤝 Partner Connection: These bars provide a perfect place for your birth partner to assist with counter-pressure, hip squeezes, or just offer hands-on support while you focus inward.

🌬️ Rhythmic Swaying: Holding onto the bars gives your body freedom to sway and move intuitively, helping to ease contractions and promote relaxation.

🧘‍♀️ Anchor for Rebozo & Body Work: We love using Swedish bars with a rebozo for gentle sifting, or to hang from during more intense moments - think of it as your own labor jungle gym!

💪 Empowerment & Movement: They encourage mobility and autonomy, helping you stay active and involved in your birth process.

Labor is movement and Swedish bars offer the freedom to move with strength, surrender, and support. 💗

Affiliate midwife and co-owner Brandy with said "Just a little over a week ago, Lauren and I supported the hard earned work of this sweet momma and her husband.

This being her s e c o n d birth at she was hoping for something a bit shorter labor wise with more movement and energy. We had a great strategy in place…. Instead she arrived involuntarily pushing in the front seat of her vehicle while on face time.

😮‍💨By some kind of grace and determination she made it inside and into the water with such a calm demeanor and pushed her baby out in a hand full of beautifully managed contractions. Right into her arms. 🥹

Mad props to this dad who drove safely and calmly inspite of a looming car birth. 🥰🤌🏻

As always, such a pleasure working with my homie Lauren of Sparrow Song Birth Services. 😘

H family, 🙏🏻 thank you for inviting me into your pregnancy, labor space and now postpartum space. It’s been an absolute blessing and a joy to care for you! 🩷"
