With only ten weeks to go of this pregnancy, my appointment confirmed on Friday that the babies head was already down, although not engaged, which would explain the constant uncomfortable twinge every time I take a step or sit on a hard chair. We had chosen the 55cm ball, as I am only 5ft 2inches so required the smaller one, although taller ladies have the option to choose the larger size. The next day we continued inflating, there was a black tape that you put around the circumference, and when the two holes in the end met, this was at full inflation, I did not think that it would go to that size, and Lochlan was a little too nervous to inflate, so Asa took over, he did inflate it to the exact measurement. I read the instructions which told me to inflate the ball 80% and leave 24 hours before fully inflating, which my lovely son Lochlan did. There is also a fantastic Information Sheet on Birth & labour Positions using a Birth Ball, which has a series of helpful photographs and descriptions to help during labour and the birth. When the ball arrived, it wasn’t just a ball like before, it came in a lovely box with lots of information, including exercises for during pregnancy and postnatal, which I thought was very handy.
