The Indybel birthing ball offers you superior quality with it’s anti-burst construction (suitable for up to 1200 kg) meaning, should the ball be punctured whilst using it, it will deflate gradually to prevent you and baby from injury.

 

The ball comes in a non offensive dark grey colour/silver colour and it’s non slip surface gives extra stability on the floor. It has one size only which is a 65 cm diameter, the average size required for most European women.

The birthing ball is an indispensable item for any pregnant woman and a key tool in easing the labour process.

 

Below we offer suggestions and uses for the ball:

 

In Pregnancy

• for relief from back pain and pregnancy discomfort

• for optimal foetal positioning, getting your baby into the best position for birth

• for prenatal exercises to keep fit during pregnancy and build strength for labour.

• for pelvic floor exercises

 

In Labour:

• help to cope with contractions

• for relaxation in labour

• for progressing labour and dilation of the neck of the uterus

• to support mobile, active birth positions

 

Why do I need a birthing ball?

 

A birthing ball needs to be bigger 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.

 

Optional Extra! Add Hand Pump Only 3.50 Choose to add a quality hand pump for inflation. The ball can be inflated in a few minutes. Particularly useful when taking the ball to hospital with you.
