Choose the correct size for you: A birthing ball needs to be bigger and firmer than a standard gym ball that you would use just to exercise with. When sitting on the ball, with your feet flat on the floor, your hips should be raised approx 10cm above your knees. This raised sitting position brings the weight of the baby forward, giving relief from back pain and general discomfort felt in pregnancy. This position also keeps the pelvis open and pressure off your lower back during labour and contractions. Select the correct size ball for your height: 55cm: Under 5’2 (Under 155cm) 65cm: 5’2 to 5’8 (155 to 173cm) 75cm: 5’8 and over (173cm & over)

Excellent ball to do exercise very pleased
Perfect
That was exactly needed help me out.
Great ball. I’ve had it up for a couple of months now and it’s still inflated. Was a bit of an effort to pump up as the pump provided started to get stuck at the end when the ball was nearly the right size. I had my husband do it as being 23 weeks pregnant at the time I just didn’t have the energy, it’s not easy let me tell you. But once up it’s been so helpful with back pain, would recommend to any pregnant lady out there to get it in your second trimester so you avoid back pain it really does help.
