Has bouncing on a birthing ball helped anyone bring on labour?

Question

I'm 39+5 weeks and I'm so uncomfortable. Been having menstrual like cramps and a lot of lower back pain but apart from that nothing else seems to be happening so I was just wondering if anyone has used a birthing ball to help bring on labour and whether it has actually worked?

Answer

I just got one yesterday and today my back is killing me and i lost a big chunk of mucus plug and my stomach is getting really hard So Praying On GOD this baby boy comes soon I'm 39 weeks today

Answer

I was using my birthing ball to help my little boy drop. At 37w3d I used it at night, around 10pm, and really felt the orrssure move down. Went into labor at midnight and had him within 12 hours.

Answer

I've been using my ball for a little over a week now and not a thing has happened, currently 39+3 and haven't even had a single contraction. Fed up beyond words

I use one. It helps my hips mostly and getting him into place. I'm only 37 weeks so I'm not too worried about working right this minute

Haven't tried it. But the cramps and back pain sound like they could be something happening?
