Has anybody tried sitting on an exercise ball to induce labour? Just went and bought one and wondering does anyone have success stories? Im due today and as of last wednesday 2cm dilated, partially effaced and 4/5ths palpable..
Well my question is.. Have any of you ladies used an exercise ball and how long after that did you improve in dilating?

hi. Has anyone bought one of those big exercise balls that can be used for labor. I was thinking of getting one today to do exercises with. What do you think? I could use it later on for labor.
At week did you girls start using the exercise ball? Im 31 weeks tomorrow and w my first two i had to be induced but with this one everything is so different and im already having alot of pressure doc said just take it easy for now..
I loved my exercise ball with my first pregnancy! It helped my back and hip pain and helped me dilate to 4cm by 38 weeks. I sat on it all the time (eat dinner, watch tv, reading a book, work on my scrapbook, etc.). I started using it around 30 weeks.
I would like to get back into exercising more, however I'm concerned with how my cranium will handle it, because it's still healing from having a tumor removed in 08/11. I do walk, but I did more before the tumor was diagnosed. My neurosurgeon doesn't address anything that he doesn't seem to think is his field. My chiropractor says walk, walk, walk. Which is ok, but with the weather getting colder, I can't tolerate outside much.
I have been diagnosed with Osteoarthritis. What kind of exercise can I do? I need to lose about 25 lbs. and I was walking but now I'm not sure if that is good for me.
EXERCISED WITH YOGA, KETTLE BALL WEIGHTS, STRETCHING BALL.
The general rule for choosing the correct exercise ball size for core (abs/low back) exercises is to have your knees and hips bent to 90 degrees (thighs parallel to floor) when sitting on the ball. This is the minimum ball size--some people prefer a larger ball, where hips are higher than knees. Don't go by photos of models sitting on balls. Typically they sit on a ball much larger than they would train on as it photographs better.
So im almost 35 weeks and been bouncing on my exercise ball to relieve my hip n back pain but I looked up how to use it and all this stuff came up about how it can induce labor.. is that true bc I really wanna keep using it for my pain but its too early for my lil girl to b born.
Is there really any difference between a birthing ball and an anti-burst exercise ball? I'd like to buy one lol.
If so I bought mine at walmart (I think the medium size one) and I am pretty sure it said exercise or yoga ball on the box. It was like 12 dollars. It helped me bc I would sit on it all the time and was dialated to 2 cm by 34 weeks and 4 cm by 38 weeks and had my son at 39+5.
Has anyone had good luck dialating using a birthing ball? Ive been bouncing all day (literally) and if i make it to a 2 by my appointment tomorrow ill be induced on thursday!
Thanks everyone ! But after a few intense BH, & those horrendus sharp pains i went to bed ! Just got up & im fine no more pain. Although the ball did do something i dont no what but wen i was in bed i could feel bbys head with my hand moving lots & VERY LOW shes bin fully engaged since i was 32wk iv have never experienced feeling the head that low in any pregnancy !
Vipotts -a birthing ball is just a big bouncy exercise ball and YOU CAN USE IT WHENEVER YOU FEEL. It is not always used to "put the baby into a birthing position" All tho it does help to releave birthing pains!. You can use it from the time you find out you're pregnant to help with back and hip aches. It will not hurt you to get it now. It helps believe me!
If you get rid of the hep c your liver can start to repair itself. Eat a low fat, salt and sugar diet. Exercise and take some supplements.

At work one of my dock guys kicked a soccer ball which accidentally hit me in the belly. It was very red. I'm 36+1 and it hurt at first but isn't so much now. No vaginal bleeding, no contractions. Baby is moving but when he moves under where I was hit it hurts. Can't leave work since I'm the only manager here. Should I be doing anything specific to exercise precaution?

I have a mild dull pain in the ball of my foot (between the arch and toes). It only hurts when I walk. This began after doing some calf raises on a calf raise machine 8 days ago. I may have used a little too much weight on that machine. Did I sprain the ligaments in that area? Keep in mind, it has never hurt very bad, just very mildly. It never swelled or changed color or anything. If its a sprain, what's the treatment? Should I avoid excersize? Thanks in advance.
Hi, I recently developed an itchiness on my penis and balls. It is so itchy that I wake up in the night. I checked online, it seems like a yeast infection. But I don't have any white discharge, or burning feeling when I pee. I exercise a lot recently to lose weight. I don't use antibiotics, nor I am a diabeter, I am applying some female yeast infection solution when I wash my penis. And I put diaper rash cream on it after cleaning.
I have severe numbness in the ball of each foot. Toes are barely affected. I have had this for over 3 years and seems to slowly be getting worse. I have also had problems with involuntary muscle twitches in my eyelids, arms and legs over the same period. My doc has done blood work and ruled out diabetes. He suggested magnesium and calcium supplements and increased water intake. This has helped somewhat with the twitching, but the foot numbness has remained constant.
