Not only can a birth ball help reduce back pain and pelvic pain particularly in the third trimester of pregnancy, it is said to ease labour pains and reduce the pain of contractions. It can also help you move your baby into the right position for an easier birth. Using a birth ball throughout pregnancy and labour is an excellent way to help your pelvis and baby get into optimal position for birth.
This type of circling the hips is especially helpful in getting your baby into a favourable position and for bringing the head down. This helps put an even pressure on the neck of the womb to open it up.Other exercises to try include bouncing on the ball, doing squats whilst raising the birthing ball over your head, or doing sit ups with your legs resting on top of the ball.
