Pregnancy comes with incredible joys—but also aches, pains, and discomfort. Whether you’re dealing with back pain, struggling with posture, or preparing for labour, our Premium Pregnancy Ball is here to support you in every stage of your pregnancy.
Moving around can get a little harder as your pregnancy progresses. A birthing ball can feel much more comfortable to sit on than desk chairs or sofas. It can also make it easier for you to get on and off.
Using your birthing ball can also improve your posture and balance and exercise your tummy muscles. As you rock or bounce on it gently, your tummy and back muscles will be working hard to keep you upright.
Sitting on the ball engages your core and promotes proper posture, reducing pressure on your lower back and preventing slouching.
Many hospitals and birthing centers encourage the use of a birthing ball to help with labor progression. Here’s how it benefits you:
✨ Opens the Pelvis Naturally – Helps your baby get into an optimal birthing position.
✨ Reduces Pain & Tension – Gentle bouncing can ease contractions and relieve discomfort.
✨ Speeds Up Labor – Movement and gravity help encourage dilation and baby’s descent.
Supports an Active Pregnancy & Easier Labor
Use the ball for gentle stretching, pelvic exercises, and bouncing movements to help with fetal positioning and a smoother delivery experience.
Birth Balls are a brilliant way of your keeping hips and your pelvis flexible and supple thorough pregnancy. They are also fantastic in all stages of labour too – from helping to open up the pelvis and create space, to supporting you in swaying and moving to help baby drop down ready for birth.

Postpartum Benefits of Using a Pregnancy Ball
Your pregnancy ball isn’t just for pregnancy and labour—it continues to be a valuable tool for recovery, fitness, and even baby care after birth! Here’s how it can support you during postpartum:
1. Speeds Up Postpartum Recovery
After childbirth, your body needs time to heal. Gentle bouncing and stretching on the ball can help improve blood circulation, reduce swelling, and ease muscle tension from labor and delivery.
2. Strengthens Core & Pelvic Floor Muscles
Pregnancy and childbirth can weaken your core and pelvic floor. Using the ball for postpartum exercises helps rebuild strength, improve stability, and reduce postpartum back pain.
3. Supports Breastfeeding & Baby Bonding
Sitting on the ball while breastfeeding provides a comfortable, ergonomic position, reducing strain on your back and shoulders. Plus, the gentle bouncing motion helps calm and soothe your baby.
4. Relieves Postpartum Aches & Pains
Caring for a newborn can take a toll on your body. Whether you’re dealing with back pain, stiff shoulders, or pelvic discomfort, using the ball for stretches and gentle movements can ease tension and provide much-needed relief.
5. Helps You Stay Active (Even with a Newborn!)
Finding time to exercise with a newborn is challenging. A pregnancy ball allows you to do low-impact workouts at home, improving flexibility and core strength while holding or playing with your baby.
6. Soothes a Fussy Baby
Babies love gentle movement! Many moms find that sitting and bouncing on the ball mimics the rocking motion of the womb, helping to calm a fussy baby, reduce colic, and promote better sleep.
Even after the postpartum phase it is not useless. Pregnancy ball can be used for yoga, pilates, home workouts, and even as a comfortable alternative to a desk chair!
Take Care of Yourself While Caring for Your Baby
Your body has done something incredible—now it’s time to give it the support it needs. Whether for recovery, fitness, or soothing your baby, your pregnancy ball remains a must-have postpartum essential!
It can also be used by your husbands and other relatives.
“I suffered with ligament pains from the second trimester, and sitting our plush sofa felt less comfortable than you’d imagine! When my birthing ball arrived, and I sat on it for the first time, I could feel the pressure come away from my hips, back, and knees. It was such a relief! In the moments when my baby was kicking into my stomach – causing a lot of acid reflux - and pushing up into my chest which made breathing more laboured, kneeling over the birth ball let me stretch my body out and get oxygen into my lungs, taking the pressure off my chest. It felt nice to breathe again and not have to reach for the antacids so often!”

I swapped my office chair for my birth ball as I was working from home during lockdown. It kept my colleagues amused as I’d be bobbing up and down through our otherwise boring zoom meetings!”

In the first stage of labor, the birth ball is really useful for keeping you in a good upright, forward and open (UFO) position which helps the baby’s descent. (Think of your pelvis as a funnel and your trying to roll something around inside of it to the bottom but there are a lot of bumps in the way). Women in UFO positions knock an average of 82 minutes off of their labor. I also encourage women to use the ball during pregnancy. Good posture can help alleviate back and neck issues - especially since the extra weight of the baby pulls you forward.

Hazard warnings
If your waters break or fluids are spilled anywhere near your birth ball, refrain from getting on it until the area is cleared from liquids to avoid slipping.
Most birth balls are anti-burst, which means if they’re punctured, they will deflate slowly instead of burst. Still, try to keep sharp objects away.
Pace yourself, and don’t rush to move until you feel balanced
