Question

FTM here...
What’s the purpose of using a yoga ball? Should I get one? Is there a benefit with using It and how do I use it? Lol 
I keep reading stories about people using a yoga ball to help with labor. Just curious if I should invest in one thanks ☺️

Answer

It can help get baby in position, I used mine in labour with my last helped to rock back and forth and keep active. Using it atm at 39 weeks pregnant, it helps take a little pressure of my hips x

Answer

I use mine everyday. They're great for back pain and getting baby lower.

Answer

I’ve never had one and this is my second baby. It’s a nice idea if it helps you, but I don’t have space to store it in my apartment and I didn’t find it very helpful during my first birth experience.

Answer

I’m a FTM also & I use my ball everyday. I looked it up on Pinterest and found an entire exercise sheet. Pelvic tilts, bouncing, squats, side lunges etc. that all help get your body ready for labor and keep you active.

Answer

Sat on the birth ball for over 12 hours in labor no where else felt comfortable. I use mine to keep my hips open and not sit as much on my couch for positioning.

Answer

Honestly it makes my back pain go away...I just sit and gently bounce...helps me sit straight and it’s sooo relaxing....also positioning of baby of course

Answer

It helps to position baby and open cervix. Supposedly makes labor easier as well.. 
didn’t do much for me with my first so I didn’t bother with it this time
