Birthing ball- causing pain

[Mummab123456]

Hi ladies,

I’m around 35-36 weeks pregnant and have seriously bad sciatic pain and bought a ball to try help as heard good things. It arrived this morning and i’ve been bouncing for the last 20 Mins and if anything it’s caused more pain, My backs hurting there is a lot of pressure down below.

Sorry TMI I’ve also just noticed some yellowy-green discharge after when i went to the toilet and now scared i’ve set things off or something 😕 Any advice would be great thank you!

If your discharge is green call your midwife. Get it checked out, you could have an infection.

It does sound like you may have an infection, which could be adding to your pain. I don't think bouncing on the ball would cause the green discharge.

As PP said call the midwife!

Thanks ladies. Just called them and they have prescribed thrush cream incase but said it may be bits of the mucus plug so to just keep an eye! x
