Does it help the head engage more?

I use one. And i plan to use it during my labour too. I think it is supposed to help the head engage, that's what i've read on internet etc anyway. I know it deffo helps to encourage bubs into a good position for delivery and my MW reckons it can speed up labour too. x

they say its suppose to be good, but when i was in labour, the midwife said if i go on it, it will help, but as soon as i was on it, i threw up...

Have to start using mine me thinks!

Just sit and bounce right?

lol im asuming thats the idea i dunno never used one myself

lol thats all i do. Its quite good for the periody type pains too. if u kinda lay across it...its dead comfy! lol x

My OH thinks its amusing I use it sometimes when hes out but one night I used it sat on it with me knickers vest top and big belly before bed and when our old neighbour popped in to see us he had a small giggle telling her the likkle shit lol

I didn't use one, but I had back labour so the head midwife was in there with me telling me how to use it. You sit on it normally and roll your hips round or forwards and backwards. I was in too much pain to get on it at that point (about 8cm dilated) but maybe it's more comfortable before that! Hope that helps.

Poor Caitlin will look like Hermun Munster you doing that


Rock back & forth on it.....and it should help, as will walking!

I got one havent used it yet, I can see myself going arse over tit whilst using it
