Anyone using the yoga ball to induce labor?

Question

I’m 39 weeks exactly, started gently bouncing on the yoga ball last night and today and my back and hips are definitely sore. Does that mean it may be working or I should stop? I was 2cm two weeks ago and haven’t had my dr check again but hoping it actually works.

Answer

I’ve been bouncing on mine. I don’t know that it’s doing anything to induce labor, but 10 min into bouncing I have to poop...every time without fail. Lol

Answer

I've been using it for weeks and it hasn't done anything. It won't cause you to go into labor if your body isnt ready. If it hurts, I wouldnt do it.

Answer

I’ve been bouncing cause it’s 💯 more comfortable than sitting on the couch right now. But I don’t think it’s doing anything.

Answer

It more so helps baby into position and puts pressure on tour cervix to help

Answer

Just started tonight and as soon as I got up I had some pain in my hips and lower back. 🤷🏼‍♀️ I would think that’s pushing him down I guess

Answer

If you haven’t been super active during your pregnancy then that’s why you’re sore... but the yoga ball doesn’t work for everybody definitely didn’t for me.
