birthing ball

Im 34 weeks pregnant and finding it really hard to get comfortable.. ive been told by a friend to try a birthing ball. Apparently it's meant to help get baby in position and hopefully speed things up abit. Well anyway im just wondering is it safe to start using the birthing ball of im only 34 weeks? Has anyone used it and it's brought on labour?

I use my birthing ball my entire pregnancy. I love it! There are different stretches and exercises u can do on it. If u have not had any complications during ur pregnancy starting at 34 weeks should be fine. I would look up specific exercises to prepare for labor and engage baby. Hope that helps.
