The Pregnancy Pelvic Tilt Wedge is made from firm foam with a heat sealed cover. When women in late pregnancy lie supine, the uterus compresses the inferior vena cava and aorta, which can reduce maternal cardiac output and affect placental blood flow. Gravity helps displace the uterus to alleviate this aortocaval compression. An effective way of assisting uterine displacement is through the use of the Pregnancy Pelvic Tilt Wedge under the patient's right hip.
