Abstract
The objective of this study is to demonstrate the innovation and design process of a birthing bed, designed specifically for young first mothers [1]. This problem was chosen due to the social and cultural conditions nowadays in Mexico, which, according to data from the INEGI, National Institute of Geography and Statistics, around 32 million women over 12 years old pursue their motherhood [2]. Not only are the numbers alarming, but it must be addressed the fact that a poorly attended delivery can be truly traumatic. The data collected by primary sources is a series of surveys sent to mothers, doctors and nurses, in which they are questioned about their experience before, during and after delivery. They were also questioned about recommendations regarding actual delivery beds. Data collection via internet focused mainly in complementing the formation obtained in the surveys. The data in this investigation includes the complete process of a delivery, the actual birthing beds and the role of each user within a delivery.
