I'm currently 35weeks pregnant and bought this ball as I was advised that it's great for sitting on if you can't get comfy on a normal chair. I was abit cautious of sitting on it as i have quite a big bump i had the image of falling off!

I plucked up the courage and sat on it and wow, it's so comfy. I now sit on it every night while watching tv, being online and even eating tea!

Another thing they are good for is getting your baby into position when you are getting closer to your due date. I spoke to my midwife as my baby was breech and she said doing a simple thing as sitting on the ball could help to turn baby around.

It's also good for rolling about on as then you can do a little gentle exercise to help prepare your body for labour.

The only down side is that for some reason ours didn't come with a pump but it was a giggle watching my husband blow it up with his lungs!!

Would definately recommend this to any pregnant woman, you can also use them in the hospital and at home during labour. Very useful!
