Stupid question......

Is bouncing on a gym ball safe for the baby??!

Have just been bouncing on mine in an effort to stimulate labour (40+1) and suddenly thought its a bit like shaking the baby up and down right??!!!!!

Very safe - bounce away

They had gym/birth balls on the antenatal and labour wards at the hospital so they must be fine!!

Yep, perfectly safe, baby is well cushioned in there! Hope it works for you and something happens soon x
