Exercise Ball for Labour
38 weeks along and just purchased an exercise / stability ball! I'm actually pretty excited about it as I've read great things and seems like a great natural tool to help move things along :) I've only used it gently for about half an hour but already my back feels so much better after hurting all day. I don't expect it to bring on labour (though I definitely wouldn't mind!), but was wondering if it has for anyone else? Would love to hear how you ladies have used one, either during labour, for pain relief, or getting things started at home! It truly is great on the back for people who are super sore as I have been .
I don't believe it put me into labor but it most definitely helped push things along... My son dropped from +1 to a -2 in less than a week and it helped a ton with contraction pain
Woo! Great news haha. At the very least its kinda fun to bounce arouns on but Id love if it did push labour a bit!
