Sitting on an exercise ball isn't going to put you into labor If your body isnt ready to go into labor. I feel like using a birthing ball is like doing squats. It just is a form of exercise that will help you with labor but isn't going to start you. Into preterm labor. I love sitting on mine, it helps a lot with my back, and tailbone.

  Birthing balls don't induce labor. They're associated with labor simply because they are so helpful in labor. And yes, it's perfectly safe for the entire pregnancy. My physical therapist even has me do several of my exercises on the ball.
