Maternity Air Bed - Gentle Air MB2002T Maternity Air Bed
The Gentle Air Maternity Air Bed is designed and developed by Dr. Harry C. Watters, a prominent Obstetrician and Gynecologist. Harry C. Watters has been named a "Top Doctor" in OB/GYN by Phoenix Magazine for 2000.
This Maternity Air Bed has been clinically proven to provide health benefits to both mom and baby through improved circulation and blood flow.
Women who normally sleep on their back or stomach often find getting enough restful sleep especially challenging. For the most part, sleeping comfortably on the side or stomach is not possible without the Gentle Air Maternity Air Bed. Sleeping on the back is discouraged because of compression of the uterus on the large blood vessels (inferior vena cava) and on the intestines, causing decreased blood flow and oxygen to the baby. During the second and third trimesters (20 weeks and beyond), lower back pain and stomach discomfort often increase.
By providing women with a safe and comfortable way to lie on their side or stomachs, blood flow is maximized to the baby and pressure is taken off of the muscles of the lower back. This reduces congestion of the blood vessels and lessens the likelihood of hemorrhoids caused by swelling and abdominal discomfort. Adjustable inflatable "comfort zone" of the air bed allows women to change positions as their pregnancy progresses for maximum comfort.

How The Maternity Air Bed Works
The Gentle Air Bed allows a pregnant woman to sleep on her side or stomach thanks to a "doughnut" hole in the middle, where an inflatable pillow fits. The pillow's air volume can by adjusted to accommodate the woman's growing midsection. Sleeping on the side or stomach helps relieve pressure on a pregnant woman's overworked back muscles. It also increases the flow of blood and oxygen to the mother and baby.

Review by an Amazon Customer:
"I had horrible tossing and turning trying to get comfortable during my pregnancy (with twins). My husband bought me the gentle maternity air bed and we both slept better. I wake up rested without the shoulder, neck and lower back pain that was constant before we had the air bed. I highly recommend this to anyone expecting. It is an essential." -- Teresa A. Hoffman
