I wouldnt feel safe on one lol. am so clumsy!!! xx sarah 11wks 1day

I have one but i bought it for exercise and i did use it when i was in early labour and at home.. Didnt take it to the hospital as they have on there anyway and i didnt use it anyway.. Its comfprtable to sit on though

i used 1 with my ds in oct 07 it helped so much the pains were less painfull when i was on the ball so i will be having 1 this time roud aswell.

i remember i was in hospital getting induced i had just had my waters broken and the woman said to go to the tv room and relax, try using the ball to get babys head down, i was bouncing away on it when more water came out.... i had to waddle back to my room with water leaking from me.... it was soo lovely!!

hi i have a ball but can never balance on it, b4 i was pg i tryed all the exercises and my ds's thought it was hilarious the fact the ball kept shooting across the room! they have more fun on it now with me holding them on it!

Sorry didn't want to scare you shes the only one I've heard that happen too but the hospital were that frightened of getting seued they've banned them from now on.  It is just bad luck but she did suffer, bless her

i think i'll leave it out of the labour room then

Just be careful when in labour my friends ball burst when she was in heavy labour and broke her back and its a miracle the baby didn't suffer from head injury!! Worst case scenario sorry I think its really good for pregnancy to get baby in good position etc just inflate it properly and check

i got one today, and it really comfortable just to bounce on it, i think i'll be taking this into hospital with me when i am in labour
