Birthing balls

[animaldoctor]

Does anybody have suggestions for a good birthing ball? There are a million on Amazon so I was hoping to narrow it down a bit. TIA!

I have a yoga ball from Walmart. It worked fine while I labored at home with DS1

I forget what size it is, but I have a Black Mountain ball. I know it's one of the bigger ones since I'm tall.

You should be fine with a regular exercise ball. That's all they had at the hospital when I delivered DD and it was amazing. If I was attempting a VBAC this time, I would totally just go to Target and buy an exercise ball.

This is what I have - I got the 65cm one and I'm 5'8". There's a good size chart someone posted in the Answers section on Amazon. I've bounced on it a bit and it seems fine.

I have a "regular" yoga/exercise ball, but I special ordered it from somewhere on the interwebz because I'm 6'1" and needed a 85 cm ball and Target doesn't carry that!

Thanks everybody! I was just going to get the generic one from Amazon and just wanted to make sure there wasn't some amazing ball that I was missing out on.
