Exercise Ball

Has anyone had any success, or know anyone who has, with using an exercise ball to get labor going?? Thanks!

I've been using this for one week. It's supposed to help the baby engage or drop. But still not sure if its worked.

Bouncing and doing hip circles on an exercise ball can help open your hips and get baby lower. It probably won't put you into labor, but it could potentially help things progress.

Thanks ladies! She is really low already but the back pain relief sounds amazing and if anything else happens, bonus!!

From my understanding it somehow puts you in labor. I never actually asked my ob or researched. But I did try it with DD and I didn't go into labor because of it.

Not sure if it is a weird coincidence or not but after bouncing and rocking for a little over an hour earlier this evening i have since started cramping and lost my mucus plug (sorry for the tmi) I guess we will see if it continues or stalls out!
