Started raspberry tea,when to start gym ball?

[LucyLou19]

35 weeks tomorrow and started on the tea,think it really helped speed up second part of labour just wondering when should I start on the gym ball? Should I wait another couple of weeks?xx

You can use a ball all the way through pregnancy to do pelvic tilts and other exercises.

There's no reason you can't start now... I did about this stage. I just sat on it whilst watching tele.

Ohh fantastic!! Just ordered one from eBay hope it comes quick!! Third baby and wanting things to progress as quickly and smoothly as possible xx

I read a study somewhere about eating dates in the last few weeks of pregnancy and that they also help with the second stage of labour.. I had a wry quick labour and had been eating 3 ten dates a day.. could also be worth a try!

Very.. not wry.. where was nothing ‘wry’ about it

What do dates taste like?xx

Been bouncing around and doing pelvic exercises on my ball since 28 weeks (physiol recommended it for hip issue) I read the earlier you start the more it helps in labour as your body and muscles know what to do.

Fab! Hope it arrives quickly xx
