In Germany where I grew up as well as in many other countries large physical exercise balls have long been used in maternity care, inside & outside of hospitals. In the last decade they have appeared in the U.S. as well.

 

10 Great Reasons to Use a Birth Ball:

In Pregnancy, using the Birth Ball ...

1. ... helps relieve back pain;
2. ... promotes good posture and mobility;
3. ... strengthens back and pelvic floor muscles;
4. ... aids baby settling into an optimal position!

During Labor, using the Birth Ball ...

5. ... facilitates progress at any stage;
6. ... can make contractions less painful;
7. ... keeps pressure off the back or wrists;
8. ... assists baby’s rotation during descent.

After the Birth, the Ball is useful ...

9. ... for gentle exercises, easy on perineum;
10. ... to calm a fussy baby - a great tool!

 

As a Doula, the safety of my clients is my foremost concern. I would never use a ball from a discount store because the quality is so inferior! The Birth Balls I carry and use are made by a company that has been producing the industry standard for physical therapy balls for over 50 years. Maxafe™ anti-burst balls will deflate slowly if punctured. A soft, foamy material, these balls are a medium blue. All sizes available.

PRICING:

small (53 cm) Maxafe™ anti-burst ball  $ 30
medium (65 cm) Maxafe™ anti-burst ball  $ 40
