 Birthing Ball
A Birthing Ball is a physical therapy ball (approximately 65 cm.) that helps expectant/laboring women find positions that are more comfortable and that can enhance labor's progress. You may first become familiar with a Birthing Ball during childbirth education class. Be sure to practice on it during class! Sometimes expectant parents even purchase their own Birthing Balls for use during pregnancy.
