Birthing Ball

[Mrs_B]

Is anyone using one during their pregnancy?

I have been really suffering with my back and wondering whether to get one as looking at info on them it says they can help back pain in pregnancy.

I got a gym ball for a fiver from tesco yesterday. It's so comfy to sit on... And it's supposed to help in early stages of labour too.

I got the ball to help my posture so I can fend off back aches! My mum had one when pregnant and it seemed to help.

Thanks hun. Think I will definitely look at getting one. My back really has been sore.

hey!! I teach a class on the gym balls at the gym i work at and i would thoroughly recommend getting one, they arent expensive as shootingstar said, and just sit on it in the evenings or whatever, lie over it to stretch out a bad back, anything!! i sit on one rather than a chair sometimes as they are way comfier!! go for it xx

Thanks, that is fab to hear. When I get one I may come to you asking for exercises to do, lol.

lol yeah any time!! x

Flexi will any gym ball do or would you recommend getting a proper birthing ball for us pregnany ladies? The difference in price is quite something.

i got one from argos £6, its really good, i dont find it more comfy then the sofa but its def good for my back, i lean on it to stretch out and i sit on it when my back is aching and it does take the edge of the pain.. Def get one!

I've got one - I bought it ages ago for sitting at the computer. It's got little legs on it - it looks like a giant udder!

Thank you ladies. I have been out today and purchased a ball and am now sat on it. I also got a support pillow for in bed, hopefully both things combined will ease my back pain.
