Birthing/gym ball? How early?

Question

Hello, I'm 31+6 does anyone know when I can start bouncing/rocking on my gym ball? Don't want to induce premature labour....

Answer

I'm 34 weeks and according to my dula the birthing ball just helps prepare you for labor & delivery. It won't actually put you in it

Answer

I've been sitting and rocking on my gym ball from the start. I'm 33 weeks now and I still sit, rock and bounce on it most nights. I don't think there's any chance of bringing on labour. It should just help to get baby in the right position.

Answer

I have been using mine since the very beginning of my pregnancy. It's totally safe!

Answer

Exercise balls are an excellent alternative to a chair even when you aren't pregnant! I've used one at my desk since before I was pregnant.

Answer

I'm so glad you posted this! I have been wanting to get one but my SO wasn't sure if it was safe and he made me worry lol I'll definitely be getting one soon

Answer

Girl that thing will open your cervix. Take it easy lol. I'm going to start using it at 37
