peanut ball

Never heard of it. I thought this was a food thread about pb. I love pb....

We were introduced to them in our l&d class. Very comfortable if you get the right size!

I have had a couple of doula clients use them at the tail end of labor when the hospital wants them in bed but we want things to keep progressing. They seem to work very well!

The doula at our childbirth class mentioned the peanut ball as a great thing for labor. Especially, like you said, for those who get epidurals

Never heard of them until now but I like that they can be used if you are restricted to the bed and they don't seem too expensive. I am really unsure of what size I would get though. I'll have to look into this more. I progressed so slowly during labor with DD, I'd love to avoid that again. Thanks @jemomma

I'm going to the avoiding a c-section seminar offered by my hospital. I'm intrigued to see if they have these on hand.

They showed us these in our birth class and said they have them in your labor room and encourage you to use them.

Never heard of this- I'll be researching it today!

Thanks for sharing, I had never heard of these before! Although I was thinking the same thing as @hazeldublin when I first opened this thread lol

Wow in reading the reviews on Amazon it's apparently very versatile. It can be used for birthing, occupational type rehab, to entertain toddlers and rehabbing dogs! Thanks for sharing this!

We have them at school for the kids to use for physio....I'd never heard of them for labour though.
