Any luck with exercise ball?

Question

Just curious of how long yall have used it and if it's effective. It kinda makes my back and hips hurt.

Answer

It may not be filled up enough or you may not have the right size, your knees should be parallel with your hips. I've been using mine since 36 weeks, I'm a ftm and had my first check today at 38 weeks 4 days, I'm a little over a cm dilated and 75% effaced. As of my last ultrasound last week I wasn't effaced at all. I don't know how much the yoga ball helped efface me but it definitely brought him down into my pelvis and I find it helps relieve pressure off my hips, I read not to move your whole body either when your doing circles make sure you are only moving at the hip and keep your upper body straight :) hope that helps a bit!

Answer

I've used mine for about 3 weeks now... no luck! Just makes my back and hips hurt after standing up
