Penny Simkin’s Road Map of Labour Package

Developed by childbirth educator and physical therapist Penny Simkin, this interactive display is a fun way to teach expectant parents and others about what to expect during labour. The display shows normal labor as a journey that begins with early labour and ends with birth. The journey includes three paths: a winding yellow brick road with twists turns and no fixed timeline; a detour for back pain which is a longer rougher road that eventually rejoins the yellow brick road; and the epidural highway which represents the choice to have an epidural for pain relief. Each path ends joyfully with the baby’s birth. The display includes illustrations of a variety of comfort measures to use as labor progresses. An ideal teaching tool for childbirth classes and a wonderful addition to birthing rooms. Package includes chart, presentation guide, and tear pad. Laminated, large size, 750mm x 570mm.
