On Monday, September 16 at 8:00 PM, there will be an online workshop about the CUB. The acronym CUB stands for Comfortable Upright Birth Support, and this inflatable birthing stool was conceived and developed by the Scottish Cass McNamara.
As a registered midwife with the National Health Service (UK), Cass discovered that traditional options such as gym balls, birthing couches, and rigid birthing stools fell short in versatility and comfort.
Determined to find a solution, Cass began her journey to design a product that would offer the comfort of a gym ball while also being practically suitable for most vaginal births. Her extensive experience in maternity care, attending thousands of births, provided her with valuable insights into what would be most beneficial during pregnancy, labor, and birth.
Through extensive research, focus groups of mothers, midwives, and other healthcare professionals, and numerous prototypes, the first CUB was developed. Feedback from the initial users helped refine the design, leading to the current, improved version of the CUB. In the past few years, the CUB has gained worldwide recognition.
Cass McNamara's dedication and innovation have earned her several prestigious awards, including: Winner of the Scottish Edge Fund; The Association of Scottish Businesswomen Award 'Woman of Inspiration'; Global Health and Pharma 'Maternity Care Executive of the Year'; Winner of the ‘Innovation in Practice’ award from the British Journal of Midwifery.
Cass McNamara invites you on Monday evening, September 16, to a workshop about the CUB and seated childbirth.
