Birthing Ball

[RainbowDrop_x]

I'm considering buying a birthing ball.. But I was just wondering.. Can it be a normal normal gym/exercise ball or does it HAVE to be a birthing ball??

Sorry if that's a really stupid question ... It just seems to me that anything with the word "Maternity" or "Birthing" cost 10 times more than it would if it wasn't baby related

I have an exercise ball... It works just the same as a birthing ball and it was only a fiver from sports direct!

Thank you!!.. I was just looking at them on amazon and a normal gym ball is 9 quid but a birthing ball is 30?? How does that work lol.. I'll go and have a look on sport's direct's website now

Thanks again

Hi,

I just bought one from Argos and it was £6.99. Does the job although takes some pumping up!

The pump they supply with it will take you until the baby is born so I js=ust used a foot pump.

They do a cheaper one too at £4.99 but the pro sport one had better reviews.

I got mine yesterday from Argos for £4.99 it was in the exercise section but i'd say the most exercise was pumping the flippin thing up

Just seen the one in sports direct.. I'm sure that will do the job... I'm not picky but it's a shame they don't do the pink one for a fiver

Once they're on the outside, the balls are extremely useful for helping gassy babies toot or getting them to sleep! It's also something very active to do while getting them to sleep. I find I'm a lot less frustrated while bouncing if he's screaming.

Good luck with your L&D.

That's handy to know. One of my thoughts with buying a ball was "What am I going to do with it after" lol. The only reason I want it is because I've heard that bouncing them help's to get the baby in the "birthing" position but if it helps with getting them to sleep on the outside then I'm up for that

Well I was wondering what the difference is!! Seems to me the only difference is the bloody price .. I want the pink one.. But the silver one will be ok I guess.. Maybe if I'm lucky OH will "treat" me to one

I got my pink gym ball from Sainburys, only cost £3.99

It came with a few other yogo bits if your into that
