👉 The birth weapon, also known as the "birth lash" or "birth whip," is a traditional tool used in some cultures, particularly in certain African and Middle Eastern societies, for birthing assistance. It typically consists of a long, thin piece of leather or rope, often tied around the mother's abdomen. The birth attendant uses this weapon to apply gentle pressure and control the baby's movements during labor, helping to guide the baby through the birth canal. This method is believed to aid in delivering the baby more smoothly and safely, and it has been passed down through generations as a culturally significant practice.
