PREPARING FOR LABOUR - Exercise Ball Bounce
EXERCISE BALL BOUNCE
Using an exercise ball (also known as a birth ball) is a great way to encourage your baby to settle lower into your pelvis, helping to soften your cervix and encourage dilation.
How to Do It:
Sit comfortably on your exercise ball, ensuring your feet are flat on the floor and your legs are wide for balance.
Begin gently bouncing up and down in a light, rhythmic motion.
This subtle up-and-down motion can help your baby engage more deeply into your pelvis, making it easier for them to move into the ideal position for birth. I often recommend this to my patients, especially if they’re feeling restless or experiencing lower back discomfort.
