Birthing ball results?

Question

Has bouncing on a birthing ball or circling or rocking on it helped anyone go into labor just decided to try it don’t know how long it will take to possibly see results I’m 37 weeks and 2 days at 4cm with bulging water trying to get things moving I have been walking at least a mile a day and taking warm/hot baths and/or showers daily any suggestions or advice on how to get things moving a little more

Answer

It can help. I suggest taking as long of a walk as you can manage. Idk if it actually had anything to do with it, but with my son I had been having on and off contractions all day (nothing consistent). I decided to take a walk with my 1.5yo around 7. I went into active labor at 9:30 and baby was born at 12:24am!! He came pretty fast!

Answer

Spend a lot of time on hands and knees to help baby get into a good position to engage...
 And baby won't come until his/her lungs are ready and the body sends yours a signal via hormones... I think it just makes us feel better about the wait when we are able to actively do something to try and get baby to come. 
I did it all in the week before my daughter was born, 2+ mile uphill walks, sex, birth ball, baths, you name it...
But she finally came when she was ready.

Answer

Have sex! It’ll break your water, soften the cervix and/or jump start labor!

Answer

I did the ball then had sex. Worked like a charm!

Answer

I bounced on that ball for days trying to get my last one out and I ended up having to be induced when I was 10 days over and she came 2 days later......

Answer

I don’t know if it was the ball that did it or baby was just ready but I bounced on the ball 8 hours (while working) the day before he was born. I wasn’t trying to start labor, I just couldn’t stand sitting in my normal chair anymore lol. He came at 39w5d.

Answer

I think bouncing on the ball may have helped her drop more 10/21 vs 10/17
