Birth Ball 65 cm by FitBALL

The world's most popular and burst-resistant exercise balls are also perfect for using as birthing balls—who knew?! Don’t worry, soon-to-be moms, your belly might be big but these balls have been tested to hold over 600 pounds – you don’t feel so huge anymore, right?

Using a birthing ball to speed and help ease some of the pain during labor is something more and more pregnant women are choosing to do. Plus, using a birthing ball is simple: With the help of her partner, mom sits right on the ball until she feels stable, comfortable and able sit all on her own.

Birthing balls have become very popular in recent years, for use both in home births and in the hospital. If you’re giving birth at the hospital, just bring your birthing ball with you right in your labor room. Chances are you’ll be there a while, and you’ll enjoy the way it helps you get through labor easier – especially if you are having a completely natural birth without any pain relievers (you go girl)!

But don’t put the ball away after baby is born. Mom can use it to bounce back into to shape quicker than ever! You can use the ball for sit-ups, stretches and aerobic exercises. Using an exercise ball actually makes working out fun!

The ball is also a great way to calm a fussy or crying baby by holding him or her in your arms as you gentle bounce. Babies really love the gentle up and down motion; it’s calming for both them and you! You might even find yourself bouncing baby, even when she’s not fussing. It’s just a great way to bond with baby that makes both of you feel relaxed and refreshed. Of course, dads can use the ball too – both with and without baby! It’s also a fun way for mom and dad to workout together--taking turns doing sit-ups or stretches. A really great way to spend some much-needed time together while getting in a great workout as well!

This birthing ball is 65 cm in diameter.

Available in Purple, Blue and Pearl. Hand pump to inflate ball is included.

If your height is close to the next size using the chart below, be sure to order the larger size as the ball can always be slightly under inflated. This is especially true when carrying extra weight during pregnancy.
