Seasons of Mama refer to this as their ‘Secret Weapon’ when it comes to natural pain management tools during labour and birth!

Instead of squeezing your partners hand during pain or discomfort, you can squeeze this! Not only will it free your partner up to be able to tend to other tasks, such as supporting you with relaxing massages it also activates Gate Theory Control. This asserts that when painful stimuli (such as a contraction) is felt at the same time as non-painful stimuli (such as with this handy acupressure tool – pun definitely intended) pain signals are then limited from reaching the brain.
This helps to defuse the pain and allows you to concentrate on other things during your birth. Long in length, so you can squeeze with both hands if needed.
Bonus! Once you no longer require this in the delivery room you can use this as a baby comb or keep sake from your birth.
