    Doing squats is supposed to help baby drop as well!  I did them while brushing my teeth.  :)

    I have been bouncing around on my yoga ball for the last two weeks :). When, at my 38 week appointment, my OB told me baby was still really high up, I came home and sat on that thing all week. No change at my 39 week appointment :(. I've been sitting on it this past week too and my 40 week appointment is this afternoon so we'll see if it did anything! Good luck to you!

    I sit on my ball at home while I eat and watch TV.  My LO's at a -1 station and im 3 cm dialated/80% effaced.  (Up from a -2 station and 2 cm dialated last week)

    I bought one the other day specifically for L&D and then for use after, if it doesn't get stained....  This may be a dumb a question but should I blow it up before we go to the hospital or just wait until we get there?  I was thinking that its kinda big to take in the car

    Yep, yoga ball and birth ball are one in the same. Just make sure to keep it inflated enough so it's comfortable. Mine has helped so much, especially when I lay over it and do pelvic lifts. It helped my lower back pain so much.

    Have you asked if your birthing center has balls there for you to use? I know mine does.

    I have a yoga ball and I have been sitting on it throughout my day at work. No idea if its doing anything for me, but its a nice option to have instead of my chair.
