Yoga ball to induce labor??

Question

So I've heard bouncing and doing certain pelvic rolls and rotations help induce labor and have actually thrown some people into labor. My question is; How many of you have used a yoga ball to induce labor and it actually work? If so, how long did you bounce on it? How many times a day?

Answer

I used a ball as a chair from 15 weeks forward. I don't think anything truly induces labor unless your body is ready. But it's a great tool to relieve pain, get the baby in a good position, and use during labor for comfort.

Answer

It didn't bring on labor for me but felt good how it stretched my hips

Answer

I bounce on that ball every damn day and I've looked up and regularly done pretty much every yoga ball exercise I could find via google, Pinterest and YouTube that would help to induce.... Im only 38 weeks but no progress whatsoever no dilation no effacement... at first I thought my tummy dropped from it but come to find out baby finally just turned head down which could or could not be related to the ball.

Answer

It did not induce labor, but helped relieve some back pain. I went 10 days over despite being very active.

Answer

I used my ball while pregnant. I don't think it induced anything, but like others said, helped stretch out some muscles and it's supposed to help baby get into position.  I actually use it a lot post birth to bounce baby to sleep. It usually shuts her up instantly!

Answer

I've been bouncing on a yoga ball everyday for the past two weeks.. hasn't helped all at. Currently 38 + 5 and I've been stuck at 1/2 centimeter for three weeks.
