Bouncing to engage baby?

Am 37 / 38 wks and baby's head is still very high according to OB. Feet in my ribs and being sick all day because no room for stomach. Desperately want baby to engage!

Has anyone had success using a gym / birthing ball to get the head to drop?

Bought one today and I will spend 12 hours a day on it if it's going to work...

Anyone had a positive engagement experience with a ball?

Yes it worked for me! And particularly got my baby rotated to the correct place as she was a bit sideways/ nearly back to back. In early labour before you get to hospital it is also relaxing to bounce or rotate your hips in small circles etc. also comfy to sit and watch tv on when heavily pregnant. wish I had got one for my first 2 babies! Worth a try, they are quite cheap on eBay.
