Peanut ball experiences

Published

A baby's feet.

For my third, my water broke and it was taking a bit for labor to actually start, so I used the peanut ball that my hypnobirthing class recommended. Within an hour, I went from a 4-10 and had my baby. I distinctly remember lying on my side with it and pretty quickly feeling contractions come and it got to the point where they were so consistent, I had to stop to give myself a break.

Has anyone else used a peanut ball during labor and, if so, what was your experience?

Mine might be totally coincidental, but I’ll definitely be using it again.
