"Can you give birth with this chair?"

I am sure you will be surprised seeing this delivery chair. I got this photo in Erotica Gallery of BenCab Museum. The birth chair was used in Mt. Province. It is made of wood. The birth chair for delivery is noticeable at the center of the room. There are other sculptured wooden arts in it. But I wouldn’t dare to share it. Most of them are obscene in appearance.

I couldn't stop laughing when i saw that chair. It is so bizzare looking. I am wondering whether they were really using it. I can't imagine someone giving birth in such a chair

I am not sure if it still exists. Perhaps in isolated villages, they still do use it.

Have read about more than one yes but certainly would not have fancied using such an item in giving birth no way.

@Shavkat It does look rather scary and I hope it was not for real.

@lovinangelsinstead21 I hope it is not. I think it is dangerous to give birth in this chair.

I am sure it is not comfortable for women to give birth. It is a good thing that we are in the modern era now.

Are you sure this is the delivery chair? Somewhat I think it looks like a torturing chair

It is not a torturing slab chair. It is being used before by the local tribes.

that is like the delivery table, because those feet are like the stirrups in modern day DR table. there was even a notion that is was better to give birth in sitting position because of the pressure of the diaphragm to the enlarged uterus.

@Shavkat hahaha! it is obvious my friend. you don't get to enter in a delivery room, right? the delivery table has stirrups where the pregnant woman hangs her legs into it. with the 'pant and push', she should be able to deliver her infant.

It's pure wood so it must be uncomfortably hard on the back.

The tribes from the Mt. Province in my country used it during the old days. But I am sure it is not comfy for women to give birth on this chair.

I've seen a chair like this, and it looks so scary... Maybe this was the reason why they used it for a woman to give birth... If she was too scared then she would have a quick labour....
