Birthing Ball


Hello,

Just wondered, for any of you who have bought a birthing ball. Where do you buy them from? Are they different from exercise balls? How much do they cost(ish)?


Thanks

xxx

Was just looking at this as it might help my back problems and help with coping with labor as I don't wanna be rushing to hospital and would rather stay at home for aslong as possible
