Anti-burst Birth Ball

This anti burst birthing ball is ideal for use during pregnancy, labour and the birth of your baby as well as after the birth.

The ball should be big enough so that when you sit on it during pregnancy your knees are lower than your hips. This ensures that good posture is maintained helping to relieve low back pain and it can help to encourage your baby into a good position for labour and birth. Other simple movements can be done to strengthen and tone lower abdominal and pelvic floor muscles. It will be the most comfortable thing you sit on when you are pregnant.

During labour your ball can be used to help keep you active and mobile and you can use it at home and take it into hospital. It comes with a foot pump to easily inflate your ball to the ideal size.

You will also want to use your ball after the birth of your baby to do gentle exercises to strengthen and tone your pelvic floor muscles as well as be a back saving device for bouncing on when trying to settle your baby.

Balls are available in purple or silver size 65cm at a cost of £12.99, 75cm available in silver - £14.99

TENS

TENS has a reputation as one of the safest, most effective forms of modern pain relief available to women during childbirth. It is natural, completely safe, easy to use, non-invasive, non-addictive & without side-effects and it is small & portable.

Recommended by midwives as part of your birth plan, the treatment allows you to experience a mobile, drug-free labour, with personal control over your pain relief.

It works by sending tiny, electrical signals to stimulate the nerves under your skin. These signals act in two ways: they block the transmission of pain signals traveling in nearby nerves, stopping them going through the spinal cord to the brain, and they send their own message to the brain, triggering the release of endorphins - the body's own natural pain killer.

The Mama TENS:

• is easy to use
• has pre-set programmes
• has an integral booster button
• has ramp control
• comes with a detailed instruction booklet and pictorial guide

It costs £25.00 for 4 weeks (Normally £29.95) plus 2 weeks' free extension period
