i have pretty much taken up permenant residence on my exercise ball ...not that I think it is helping much!! the first couple of days i would bounce on it and once i stood up and walked around i would have a few cramps, but i think my baby girl has learnt what is going on and is playing hard to get now coz it's not done anything for me these last few days (since going over-due). typical...
EDIT: sorry, off topic, but Suzib you have chosen the same name as we have for our little girl We thought we were being really original, darn it!!

So far we have only come across two people that know anyone called Lana. It's apparently a very popular name in Australia... good job thats the other side of the planet
Back on topic now...Squidge, did your midwife recommend the ball as good for getting baby in position or good for getting labour going!?

She recommended it to get things going My LO has always been head down so that's never been a problem but she's only just starting to engage so she told me to try the ball to move things along quicker
Plus it's supposed to help with pains too but i've not had any so wouldn't know
I didn't even look at mine until the irregular contractions started. 45 hours later and my waters popped on it!
I will definately be using it next time!
