This worked out perfectly for my delivery. I had a natural unmedicated delivery, so I didn't end up using the access in the back for an epidural, but it appears to be very handy. The front access was nice for attaching the mobile monitor. My only complaint was that it was a tad short for my frame. Since I labor naturally I do lots of squats and various stances for pain relief and to help progress labor along and I felt a bit exposed in back when I would lean over.
