Pregnancy ball Ø65

The pregnancy ball is a great tool both late in pregnancy, during labor, and after the baby has arrived.

During the 3rd trimester, there's less space in the belly for the baby. You can help the baby's descent into the pelvis along and at the same time relieve your own pelvic pain. Exercises with a pregnancy ball are a natural and safe way to help the body prepare for birth.

When labor is underway and contractions are intense, the pregnancy ball is a great tool. Often, you're restless during contractions, and here the ball can relieve you from standing up without locking you in place. It can help loosen the pelvic muscles both before and during labor. You can sit on it and make figure-eights with your hips, lean over it, roll your hips, and lean on it. It's wonderfully soft and is great to hang onto while your partner massages your lower back. With a pregnancy ball, your belly gets to hang down while you can relax your back. It can be incredibly soothing.

After birth, the ball is also brilliant if you have a fussy baby whoonlywants to be rocked in your arms. When your arms and legs have eventually turned to lead from walking back and forth, you can sit on the ball and "bounce." Trust me, I've spent many late nights bouncing on a ball in the living room.
