Birthing ball

[Shrimpie]

Has anyone used a birthing ball and far into the pregnancy did you start using it?

I had one i used it late in pregnancy but only literally 3-4 times then not used so in fairness not fully worth it however they are cheap!

I used mine a lot, especially when overdue and in early labour. Still use it now to get DD to sleep!

Started using about 30 weeks with my first and earlier with my second. Used it in labour with both too. Wouldn’t have been without it!

I used mine throughout pregnancy a lot! I went to pregnancy yoga and learnt how to use it for different relaxing positions and to ease pressure

Hi I used one lots in third trimester to ease pressure on my lower back. I also used it a fair bit once labour got really going, the bouncing took my mind off the contractions.

I used one in earlyish labour

Would you say most people use it in the third trimester then, but you can you it in the second if it makes you feel more comfortable?

I've started using mine at 18 weeks to ease PGP and do sone simple exercises

Yeah use it whenever you like
