Congratulations woop woop :happydance:

VP - Thanks hun. I've not seen this name anywhere yet so it stands out to me, unlike Logan which loads of people seem to be using. It's difficult as Logan was a name that I suggsted for a boy before we were even preganant but I hadnt heard it being used much then!! It's getting so frustrating now being so close and all that.Plus, it doesnt help that I love them all and dont have a favourite. I am one of these 'monica from friends' type people that likes everything sorted and finalised before it needs to be so this is driving me bonkers. My hubby is finding it ever so amusing the devil. :haha:

GLad to hear Gills is comong home, I cant wait to see pics. I wonder who is next in line???

Yeah I've got a ball.

I just bounce up and down on it, but havnt been able to the last couple of days cos if my back :dohh:

Also leaning over it on all fours is quite comfy. At least if it pops it'll probably shock your body into labour :haha:

:rofl: Im using one as it helps get the head down into place as you sit with your hips apart. I just sit & rotate my hips on mine or do gentle bouncing. I also get on all fours over it too to try & get flump out of back to back position tho its not working yet the stubborn lil devil :haha: make sure that you arent sat slumping on it, back straight, legs apart and your knees lower than your hips (:haha:thats my fitness instructor mode coming out, sorry!!)
 
2bananas - OMG, due date tomorrow, come on baby, break the curse of the latebugs and come out :)

I have one. I just stick it in the front room and bounce while I watch telly. I'm sure I'll be leaning over it and all sorts when I'm in labour. Most of them have a slow leak, so that even if it does go bang, it lets you down easily. :haha:
 
i think im th e only one who doesnt have a ball! wishing i had one now, maybe it would get things started. :huh:

I saw that one too , and |I wasn't sure but I didn't think it was non-burst ? , which was another good reason not to get it !
 
I didn't notice it wasn't non-burst - glad you did! I just didn't want to spend that much on an exercise ball lol. I'm sure someone said Argos has some of them so I might have a look in there during the week :)
 
I know - everyone seems to love them! I feel like I'm missing out :rofl: xx
 
i read up on alternatives. up and down the stairs 2 at a time, but i managed to hurt myself :rofl:
 
Just go to the Argos site and type in "exercise ball," and a few come up. This is the one for a fiver - not sure if it's anti-burst.
 
Most exercise balls have a max weight of up to 150kg so I dont think anybody has to worry about it bursting, unless it is a faulty one :haha:. Mine isnt a birthing ball, just an exercise one that I've had for years since I got a bad back and used it as part of my physio rehab. Try goin up the stairs sidways like a crab, its supposd to help open the pelvis too to help with labour. Then again, I've tried everything so far and nothigs worked :rofl: Oh well, at least it makes us feel like we're doing something to speed things up eh ladies!!

Oh, and if you do have a ball, dont forget to sit on it post birth too, just the balancing on it can help tone and tighten those important core muscles which will help with the post baby tummy:thumbup:
