Ooh, totally following along on this. I was contemplating getting a ball for work (I work a desk job) and starting to sloooowly incorporate it into my day (like, 15 minutes increments building up to longer stretches)...but I haven't purchased one yet...

I used one some last summer after my car wreck, and the only time my hips hurt was when it wasn't blown up enough. I thought it helped with my back pain, and I'm going to get a larger one to keep at the office and replace my chair this summer hopefully.

I think by the time I was trying the yoga ball, I was already hurting all over from the pregnancy!

One thing I can think of is the size of the ball and if it's inflated enough? My first yoga ball was too small, and I had to go buy a bigger one. Also, whenever my husband would pump and inflate the ball for me, it'd be too squishy and not offer enough support. I always have to inflate it myself to get it firm enough.

Side note: I use that thing ALL the time still with LO. Bouncing her on it. I do get a sore lower back, like right above the tailbone area, when I use it for a consecutive amount of time - working out muscles?

@shopaholic: haha, great minds think alike! Couldn't have anything to do with the fact that you've got an LO and we're still pregnancy could it??

@Revel: haha! Proooobbbbaly! Save those yoga balls! Best "baby gear" I bought for the first couple months!
