pregnancy ball question

[vegas]

Hi guys, 39 weeks on wed. I've got a pregnancy ball but wondered when it's best to start having a bounce on it. Think it would bring on labour if I started now or would it be best to use when im in labour. Haven't got much knowledge on them. D

Its good generally for posture anyway
And if you sit on it right itll open your pelvis up to help baby engage better
But dont worry about it starting labour just from that
The general rocking bouncing movement is helpful when in labour though x

I think they say you can bounce from 37 weeks so go for it lovely. X

Obstetric physio suggested to use it from whenever I felt ready as it is really good for posture etc. I started using mine from about 32 weeks I think.

I've been using mine since about 28 weeks as it helped to ease back pain. It won't bring on labour, will just help things go in the right direction when your body's ready - and as others have said its good for posture (keeps your pelvis in the best position) - get bouncing!! xx

U shouldnt bounce up and down on it before 37 weeks, but u can sit on it if it helps with pain etc.
Bouncing is safe from 37 wks so bounce away, lol x

I bounced away on mine from 20 weeks last time! I didn't know there was a time restriction?! Hey ho, it didn't do my daughter any harm. It got a puncture though and I haven't got round to buying myself another this time round!

Bounce away, anytime from start of full term is OK x
