Birth/yoga ball?

[SunnyDayz]

I have read a couple times about 'sitting on the birth ball' to help labor get going. How does this work? I sit on mine all the time because it it more comfy than a chair or sofa at this point. How does this help labor start? ...or can it even help?

Just wondering!
Thanks!

i think it's gets labor to start by helping baby to get in the right position if that's a problem. i don't think it does any type of inducement or anything like that. i too have one that i have been sitting on for quite some time...

Hm, well I do know that it is comfy!
