Birth ball (another dumb question)

Hello all,

A birthing ball is the same as an exercise ball, right?

 

Thanks!

  • Yep! Don't be fooled into buying one labeled as a birthing ball that is 3 times what you can buy an exercise ball at target for.
  • Yep. I bought a "yoga ball" at Five and Below for $5 and it worked great.

  • yup! it really helped during my birthing time. I sat on it and leaned against the bed and had DH and my mom put pressure on my lower back and i also rocked side to side. I also used it a lot during pregnancy to take pressure off my back and hips while sitting at the desk. Love that thing!

  • Yup! but I got one that is bigger than what it says for my height b/c otherwise I would never be able to get off of it being so close to the ground. I also like mine really inflated.....
