The seat board is provided with a curved cut-out which opens to the center front of it and with thigh crutches provided at the right and left sides of the buttock supporting seat portion of the seat board. The thigh crutches securely support the thighs of woman in labor. The further improved version of this reclining bed for childbirth includes grip handles and armrests. The grip handles are provided at the right and left sides of a seat board installing base. The armrests are provided at the right and left sides of the backrest in an adjustable manner with regard to their tilting angle. This reclining bed for childbirth is effective in enabling a delivery to be performed easily with sitting position, thereby facilitating the works for both the woman in labor and the obstetrical assistants. It is also readily converted whenever it is necessary to be used either as bed or as chair.
