How do you women use your exerciseball during pregnancy? Do you just sit and bounce? Do you roll your back on it to stretch it out? Did it help any of your babies to drop down a little?
I have used the ball since week 31 I'm 35 almost 36 weeks I am 80 percent effaced no dilation yet but I sit on the ball everyday whenever I am on the computer or watching tv I barely am ever on the couch I bounce n roll n rock lol and walk like 3 miles a day not at a fast pace but still and I think it's helping dr said baby is very low were just waiting for dilation :) he's almost 7 lbs already sheesh it's surprising cuz I've barely started to gain weight just this week n on
So I have been bouncing on this big exerciseball for the last 3 nights. Well tonight I am feeling a lot of pressure on and off down there and in my butt. I'm guessing it's helping? Does anyone have experience with using one to help induce labor? Has it been successful for anyone? I'm due Christmas eve. Baby still hasn't dropped, at least I don't think she has.
Have any of you ladies used an exerciseball to help speed up labor? And did it work? 38 weeks and 6 days, still no dilation, baby still has not dropped, and still have my mucus plug. I really need help. I really don't want a c-section.
Has anybody tried sitting on an exerciseball 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..
I'm 2 days away from my due date but I've been having inconsistent contractions for the last 2 days I'm exhausted. My mom is bring a exercise ball over for me to bounce on because I'm too tired to walk anymore. Did using an exercise ball help anyone else make their contractions more consistent or does anyone have anything else that might help?
I stood up too long while I was washing the dishes and my back was aching really bad. Sitting on the couch just made it worse. I rolled my exerciseball over to me and planted myself on that and began rolling my hips around and within 10 minutes the pain had disappeared. So glad I bought one. I read online they're good to have during pregnancy and that's no lie. Definitely recommended.

Has anyone tried using a birthing/exercise ball while in labor? I'm being induced Friday morning at exactly 39 weeks. And I'm trying to find alternative natural ways of relieving the contraction pains. I'm getting an epidural, but my doctor wants me to wait till I'm 4-5 cm dilated to get it. So I'd like to try different things to help while waiting for the medicine. Any other suggestions?
