Thanks! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birthing-ball#post-110820 Wed, 04 Apr 2012 08:52:23 +0000 Mrsbells 110820@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought one and have been using it, and its definitely worth it, sitting on it helps me feel so much better and eases some of the aches and pains I feel when sitting on a regular chair or sofa </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birthing-ball#post-110726 Wed, 04 Apr 2012 01:38:17 +0000 looch 110726@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used one for the third tri, esp. at night to roll my hips. It was totally worth it.</p> <p>We also used it after the baby was born to bounce him and soothe him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birthing-ball#post-110717 Wed, 04 Apr 2012 00:05:03 +0000 His Barista 110717@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used one in labor at home. It was the only way I could sit down. I loved it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birthing-ball#post-110634 Tue, 03 Apr 2012 20:16:07 +0000 mrsjazz 110634@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been using my ball since the beginning of second tri (and I'm at the end now). I originally kept it under my desk at work and would switch it out to help with the back pain. Now I have it at home and am on it first thing in the morning and at night to help with back, hip, and pelvic pain. Plus I'm trying to bounce this baby out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birthing-ball#post-110631 Tue, 03 Apr 2012 20:14:03 +0000 lemondrop 110631@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Loved it during my last few weeks of pregnancy, but hated it during labor. I still use it at my desk all the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birthing-ball#post-110626 Tue, 03 Apr 2012 20:10:46 +0000 cyndistar3 110626@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also use an excercise ball and it does great things for my back :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birthing-ball#post-110622 Tue, 03 Apr 2012 19:58:36 +0000 regberadaisy 110622@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@miss-spunkin:<br /> OK I really need to find it now because I have had really really bad rib pain. Kinda like nerve ending pain right underneath my boobs? If the medicine ball can help relieve that I'm going to buy one tomorrow! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birthing-ball#post-110621 Tue, 03 Apr 2012 19:55:18 +0000 Mrs. Pen 110621@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had bad sciatica and intense rib pain, I sat on it a lot and it helped a lot </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birthing-ball#post-110618 Tue, 03 Apr 2012 19:51:46 +0000 regberadaisy 110618@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@runsyellowlites:<br /> I really should get my husband to find ours! It's deflated somewhere now. My hips have been KILLING me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birthing-ball#post-110615 Tue, 03 Apr 2012 19:41:29 +0000 runsyellowlites 110615@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got a 65cm fitness ball from walmart for under 10 bucks! I wanted to make sure it wasn't a weighted ball &amp; just a plain balance/fitness ball.</p> <p>It's been GREAT for my lower back &amp; it's also helpful in getting baby to drop &amp; engage.</p> <p>Definitely worth it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birthing-ball#post-110614 Tue, 03 Apr 2012 19:41:10 +0000 heffalump 110614@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used an exercise ball. I heard it helps get the baby in position so I was on it constantly. I give it credit for only having to push for an hour. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birthing-ball#post-110601 Tue, 03 Apr 2012 19:16:37 +0000 jennylynn 110601@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Are any of you using a birthing ball during your pregnancy, and if so, would you recommend it? I was thinking of getting one to help with hip and back pain. </p>
