Recommendation on Birth ball/balance ball

It seems like this would be good to have while laboring at home, has anyone used them? Also, do you recommend a brand?

Re: Recommendation on Birth ball/balance ball

  • Pretty much any excercise ball will work.
  • I just bought one yesterday... its Champion brand, from Target and was $15. they recommend getting 65cm if you're between 5'6"-5'11"
  • Loading the player...
  • I got one from Wal-Mart, its the 'Gold's Gym' brand. I think it was like 18 bucks, but it had sand in the bottom to counter weight and make it more difficult to roll off of it. (They also had some that were literally just exercise balls for around 10 dollars in the same section.)
  • Reebok brand from Target with a weighted bottom.
    I really like the weighted bottom feature, it helps keep the ball from "getting away from you" when you move around on it.
