Choosing the Right Birthing Ball

When shopping for a birthing ball, consider:

• Ball size
• Your height
• Weight capacity
• Stability
• Surface grip
• Material quality
• Inflation requirements
• Ease of storage
• Included pump where applicable
• Manufacturer instructions

Choose a ball size that allows you to sit comfortably with your feet firmly on the floor and maintain a stable position.

Using a Birthing Ball During Pregnancy

A birthing ball may help make certain seated movements and pregnancy exercises more comfortable. It can also provide an alternative sitting position for some expectant mums as pregnancy progresses.

Use the ball on a flat, non-slip surface and keep enough space around you to move safely. If balance is a concern, have another person nearby for support.

Birthing Balls During Labour

Some women use birthing balls during labour for gentle rocking, supported sitting or different positioning. Individual labour needs vary, and the most suitable positions depend on comfort, medical circumstances and advice from your maternity care team.

Always follow guidance from your midwife, doctor or other qualified healthcare professional.
