Birth Ball and a Partner
by Janiver Wong
Even during labour, the birth ball is a good tool. Get your birthing partner to sit on a stable surface like the edge of the bed or on a sturdy chair. Place the exercise ball between your partner's legs and you sit on the ball. This position allows you to lean back into your partner and relax and concentrate on breathing. In this position you get the comfort of the birth ball and any areas that need pressure or massage are easy to get to by your partner. |
