Pregnancy ball

Are you using a pregnancy ball? If yes, which one? And does it help with back pains and aches? I don't want to end up buying a fake 'pregnancy ball' which isn't even pregnancy safe and won't help with the aches etc

There's honestly not much difference in them and any standard yoga ball will work. Just make sure it's anti-burst. I got mine off Amazon. They do them in Argos too. Also be sure to inflate it properly. Your hips should be above your knees when you're sat on it :) it should be firmer than you think!

Personally haven't started using one yet but I used a urbnfit one from amazon for last pregnancy n will use it for later this pregnancy. As long as the ball is decent quality and isn't going to burst they all work to help with aches n baby positioning all the same just look into what motions and 'exercises' to do for your desired out come ie help lower back pain what not x

Yeh they are basically just yoga/gym balls, nothing special about them but the marketing lol! Just get the right size for your height

I paid a little more and got a bigger thicker stronger one. I am plus size and quite tall

@Sophie I’m also tall and plus size, would you be able to share a link please x

I have tailbone and hip pain, and it makes it worse. Absolutely excruciating.

@Anna I have the same pains especially hips and the ball really helps! I received mine 2 days ago and only started using it yesterday (as you have to wait 24hrs after inflating it) and I've already noticed a huge difference! The aches and pains have reduced! Not sure why you didn't have a good experience with yours

@Meg it was 10 years ago but I got it from eBay! You can choose sizes x
