Can you even believe it’s nearly xmas time already. This time last year I was expecting Jazmine, due on the 19th December, desperately hoping she came before xmas day, and she decided to arrive 3 days early on the 16th December on my Birthday 💖⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Someone asked me recently what is the benefit of the birthing ball? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The birth ball is a simple yet amazing piece of equipment for any pregnant woman. There are many benefits during pregnancy, in labour and also after the baby is born. It helps to improve posture, ease back pain, relax and exercise the pelvic floor muscles. Another benefit is when you sit on the ball, your legs naturally drop to the sides which as a result opens the pelvis to its widest diameter adding optimal foetal positions in preparation for labour. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ For more detailed information on the benefits during pregnancy, in labour and after birth, keep an eye out for my next post.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
