Ok so what ya meant to do & when is said best to start using it?

Oooh i was gonna ask about this today lol, obviously its too early for me yet but i have been thinkin about it!
Also does it have to be a proper birthing ball, or can u just get one of them excercise balls from argos cos they are cheaper! Sorry to bombard your post with my questions
x

LOL no worries Sophie

I got mine @ Argos for £5!

did not even know that there are special birthing balls!

need to get mine pumped up, not sure yet how!

but as soon as it is pumped up, I will use it to sit on! will be good for the position of back and spine and therefore possibly will help baby to get into right position for birth, I thought?

I use mine to lean over to reduce my back pain atm. I got one from tesco but made sure that it was an anti-burst one.

anti burst

I just got a cheapy exercise ball, it's slightly smaller than an official birthing ball but i found it fine last time and this.

Lots of uses for it:
Just sit on it rather than the sofa during pregnancy to encourage your baby to be in a good birthing position.
Use it to do gently exercises on pre-natally
bounce up and down on it during labour to help things along
use it for exercises post natally.
