Can one of you nice girls please tell me how the heck to use my birthing ball?

[tiggerpony]

I am now 39 weeks and 2 days and got a birthing ball the other day! How do I use it? I bounced up and down on it last night for about 15 mins but all it did was hurt my pelvis (I have SPD) and I felt like I was crushing my babies head by jumping up and down on it...and my hubby worried me and said "I don't think you should be bouncing on it like that - that's our daughters head your jumping on!"

So how do I sit on it?
How so I use it?
Lastly how long do I use it for?

Thank you in advance.

Do I straddle it?

just sit like u would on a normal chair, even if u dont bounce, just rock back and forward or side to side x

I just bounce a little on mine and move my hips in a number 8 shape.
Oh and I use mine for a good few hours... But it depends if you feel comfortable or not. I prefer it to sitting on a chair.
