Movement supporting birth

Vibwife is a Swiss-based birth mobility system, invented by Anna — a midwife who couldn't move every mother the way she wanted. It enables continuous, gentle movement built into the birthing bed — so every mother has the support she needs, and every caregiver the tools to provide it.

Why Vibwife

Birth needs movement. Hospitals know it. Caregivers and mothers want it. Real conditions — staffing, monitoring, fatigue — often make it the first thing to go.

What people who've used Vibwife say

Vibwife supports movements our nurses already use every day but in a more continuous and integrated way. I'm excited to see its impact on labor progression, cesarean rates, and patient experience. Most importantly, our nurses are genuinely excited about it.
