As I was douching I felt a ball in my vagina or could it have been my cervical wall. I put my finger to feel and I felt it on my left side
Douching is bad pregnant or not.. but being pregnant and doing it causes other issues!

Douching during pregnancy can change the normal bacteria levels that you have in your vagina. This can aggravate yeast infections and irritate the vagina.
Your vagina cleanses itself naturally by secreting fluids that drain and flush out dead cells, bacteria, and semen.
see your doctor for an examination for the ball.

But as to the "ball" you felt - bring it up the next time you have an appointment with your OB/midwife. I can't help you with that, doesn't sound like any issue I've heard of before.
You should not be using douche while pregnant. It severely increases your risk for infection, irritation of the cervix, and other issues. Your body regulates itself. Your vagina keeps itself clean and flushes itself put naturally. Douching changes the pH balance which isn't good for your health anyway and definitely isn't good for your baby.
