OMG!!! yes! i had one during my delivery and it was awesome!!! just slighty bounce and rock back and forth on it and it makes you dialate faster. I went from 4-5 cm to 6.5 in 45 mintues. Ask for it when its time!

not for me and it didn’t ease the pain for me either

It helped me. I walked around during labor too, and did yoga. I think all of those things really helped. The ball was really comfy to bounce on during labor.

I was induced with both of my pregnancies and I used a birthing ball with both. I loved it! It seemed to help with dialation and it also stretched my muscles…not to mention made my family and I giggle because it just looked and felt a little silly. I loved it!!

I am not sure if it helps with dialation or not but it helps to open your hips and pelivs up thus making room for the baby to drop lower.
The pressure of the babies head might help to you.
I can say that I LOVED to sit on my while i was in labor. I went into labor at around 9am (when I knew it was labor) around 10am I sat on the ball and I ended up having her at 2pm. I think it helped me a ton!
Congrats and good luck. Also the shower helps to relax you and that helps to progress things as well.

When I was in labor with my first child, the nurse made me sit on one and it was really painful. I don’t know if they really work or not, all I know is it felt like it was trying to push the baby back up to my ribs. Good Luck, I hope you have better luck with it than I did.

I used the birthing ball during my labor, and it was one of the best things I tried!! It really helped ease the back pain, and rolling around on it helped during the contractions to. I loved it.
