Birthing ball positions!

[x.Lilly.x]

Iv just pumped up my birthing ball and am having a good bounce!
Scared Im bouncing to hard though and Im gna pop it and land on my arse! haha
What things are good to do with it to get baby into position other than just bouncing (with legs spread a bit im guessing??).
Oh and can you bounce to hard if that makes sence or the more u bounce the better? lol
Oh and also is about half an hour a night bouncing okay, is that about a normal bouncing sesh?

Hehe I'm always scared mine will pop too!
You can also lay on it on your front to get the baby's spine to drop towards the front of your bump
Don't know how long you're supposed to do it for sorry x

I used to be on mine constantly! It was the only place I didn't ache. I used to gyrate round, back and forth, side to side, bounced (not too hard or I'd wet myself) all with wide open legs. Gorgeous I was lol x

I tend to sit on mine a fair bit and rock back and forth, that helps with my back pain. I should try some other things really.

I'm too scared to blow up mine. Just in case it pops. It looks like a balloon n those things freak me lol
If I use it now will it help towards labour day?? Will it make it easier n less painful ???

Don't think so Lealea it just gets baby into a good position for birth and helps that start to 'go down', thats what I use it for. and also its super comfy! x

We did ours at the same time!! I got it half price yesterday then blew it up last night!

I don't think you can do it too much. I had a bit of a bounce (sitting any other way is sooo uncomfortable), and I spent some time kneeling on a cushion leaning on it, like Becky said, to get the baby to swing round to the right position. It's great, you can be really leaning on your tummy without a problem!!

ooo will try that. I just have a fear of me squishing baby lol x

Funny!
Mine is the normal exersize ball size from tesco, very comfy watching tely.
I keep having to hide it away from the kids, as they keep rolling/throwing it about, and my lounge is taking a bashing!

 

[x.Lilly.x]

So is my son! lol he loves it, but atm hes not old enough to be able to throw it too hard, he loves me putting him on it and bouncing him up and down lol xx

and do u no how many cm yours is?
on the side of mine it says 55cm.

& also after having a good bounce for half an hour ill get a proper big heavy feeling in my lady garden area, like everythings about to fall out!
it goes away after about half an hour, but is that normal?

My local Asda has one in for £6 that I want, not sure how big it is though... how much is the one from Tesco Jen?
I've pointed the ball out about 3million times to the OH, you think he'd get the hint.....
