The Original Binsi Birth Skirt is the ultimate in practical fashion. It was created so you can feel like a mom during childbirth, not like a patient. The birth skirt is sleek up front, but features back pleats for ease of movement and expansion. Its under belly fit is perfect for baby monitoring and other medical equipment and stays off sensitive skin during contractions. The adjustable drawstring grows as you grow and shrinks back, too. The Original Binsi Birth Skirt is comfortable, attractive and convenient enough that you will want to wear it on prenatal appointments, for yoga or even a walk in the park. It is ideal for home or hospital births. Not only does this fun skirt make you feel comfortable during the birthing process, is comes with eight colored prayer or blessing beads. Decorate the drawstring of your skirt with your partner or with friends and family at the baby shower. Each symbolic and powerful bead represents a specific prayer or blessing—like intuition, confidence and courage, love and beauty, and life. Focus on the beads during labor to feel the love and support for you and your baby. This skirt is an authentic USA product crafted of 97-percent cotton and 3-percent spandex. It is conveniently machine wash, cold and tumble dry low. It is doctor, midwife and nurse approved and makes a great baby shower gift. Binsi Birth Skirts have been honored with awards from iparenting media.
