Frequently Asked Questions

Q.  How does the Labor Link work?

A.  Anyone can hold the end opposite from the mother during a pushing contraction. They are in the optimum place to offer physical and emotional support. The mother pulls on her handle as the contraction begins. She tilts her pelvis forward and bears down. The other person provides counterbalance by pulling back on the opposite handle.

Q.  Can the Labor Link help me if I have an epidural or if I'm on the fetal heart monitor?

A.  Yes, most definitely! Because you cannot easily change position, the Labor Link is just what you need for 'power' pushes. It optimizes every push when you can't move around because you have a fetal heart monitor attached or you don't feel the pushing sensation because of an epidural.

Q.   How will the Labor Link help my labor?

A.   Using the Labor Link will help you focus the strength of your pushes, potentially decreasing the length of the pushing stage. We're all about avoiding c-sections.

Q.   Mothers ask, "Who can help me with my Labor Link during labor?"

A.   Your husband, doula or midwife—anyone can pull on the opposite handle. You'll find it helps to make eye contact during each push. Whoever pulls on the other end will love the experience of helping you birth your baby.
