Yoga/excercise ball?!

Question

Has anyone used one to induce labor or help dilate? I am at 3 cm 80% effaced and feel contractions on and off.

Answer

I usee it during dilation helped a lot

Answer

I think once you're in or really close to labor it's supposed to be good for posture and mild pain. The posture and hip mobility on the ball are supposed to encourage baby into position.
I have to agree with the others so far that it does nothing to induce labor. I've used it the last couple weeks for both pregnancies and I've gone past my EDD both times. It does loosen my lower back a little.
Bouncing gently on the ball did help my son when he was colicky and was the only effective method we found to burp him as a newborn.

Answer

I sat/bounced on a yoga ball for my entire pregnancy all work day with my daughter and she took 50 hours to come out through inducing. I’m not saying it doesn’t help but it’s not a guarantee.
