Yoga/Gym balls and peanut balls for labour! Have you ever used one? The circular balls are great for encouraging hip movement during labour, which in turn can help through the contractions.

The peanut ball is also a great tool to use, particularly if you have an epidural and movement is limited, or are trying to help baby rotate and descent further into the pelvis. When a labour slows right down or there seems like there's little progress, it's almost always due to the position of the baby in relation to the pelvis. By doing some of the simple movements that you see in the videos, it may be a simple fix!

Many hospitals/birth centres have them but do check. If not, see if you can bring in your own, they can be found on Amazon 😊
