About Birthing Balls

Birth Ease Birth Ball

Available to order now!

  • Manufactured in Italy by Birthing Ball specialists.

  • Anti-burst construction means that should the ball get punctured whilst you are sitting on it, it will deflate gradually to prevent you and your baby from injury.

  • Premium quality birthing ball, tested to the strictest standards up to 300kgs in weight and its non-slip surface gives extra stability and adherence to the floor. For safety, we would advise pregnant women against the use of birthing ball covers.
     

 

Photographic Instructions for Pregnancy & Labour

Detailed guide shows you how to use your Birthing 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. These include squats, stretches and leg bends
  • 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
     

What size birthing ball should I buy -  65cm or 75cm?

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.

Select the correct size for your height:
65cm: Up to 5'8              (Up to 173cm)
75cm: 5'8 and over     (173cm & over)

We do not stock a 55cm ball as it is simply too small to ensure a raised sitting position, with your hips higher than your knees.
 

We love the Birth Ease birth ball for its fantastic soft lilac colour, brilliant quality and information leaflet.
 

Optional Extra  £2!    

Choose to add a quality faster blaster hand pump for inflation. Its dual action means the ball can be inflated in a few minutes. Particularly useful when taking the ball to hospital with you.
Also useful to pump up balloons for all those birthday parties to come! Full price for Faster Blaster Pump is £4
