Which Size Birthing Ball Is Right for Me? Let’s Break It Down
Okay, real talk—if you're pregnant and thinking about getting a birthing ball (aka exercise ball for labor, aka your new best friend), size totally matters. Picking the right size birthing ball can make a big difference in your comfort, posture, and how effective it is during labor or just chilling while pregnant.
✨ Here’s your no-stress birthing ball size guide:
If you're under 5'4" – Go with a 55 cm ball.
Between 5'4" and 5'10" – A 65 cm ball is your go-to.
Over 5'10" – You’ll want a 75 cm ball to keep things comfy and aligned.
The best birthing ball for pregnancy should let you sit with your knees lower than your hips and your feet flat on the ground. If you feel like you're teetering on a beach ball or your knees are up by your chin—girl, that ball is too small.
And yes, you can totally use it for gentle bouncing, hip circles, and even sitting at your desk. Bonus: it’s amazing postpartum, too.
💡 Pro tip: Look for one that’s anti-burst and supports at least 600 lbs. Safety first, always.
So whether you're prepping for labor or just need some pelvic love, the right birthing ball size = major game changer.
