Exercising on a birthing ball in pregnancy can help to reduce any back pain you are experiencing and make it easier for you to move around.
It can also help ease labour pain, reduce the pain of contractions (especially if you use it for a couple of months before you give birth), decrease anxiety and shorten the first stage of labour. However if you feel dizzy or ill, don’t use your ball.
Using a birthing ball can also help you adopt different upright positions, which can help you to labour effectively. It may even shorten your labour by an hour or so.
