The birth ball is one of the simplest—and most effective—tools we use as doulas to support comfort, movement, and confidence during labor.

In this episode, we break down why the birth ball matters, how it supports active movement and pelvic mobility, and the real-life ways we guide clients to use it during early labor, active labor, and transition. We talk through common birth ball positions, partner support, and how rhythmic movement can help labor feel more manageable—both physically and emotionally.

We also share how we teach these positions visually through our podcast and YouTube resources, so you’re not trying to figure it out in the moment. Whether you’re pregnant, preparing for birth, or supporting someone through labor, this episode offers practical, grounded guidance you can actually use.

This conversation is about options, support, and trusting your body—with tools that work with you, not against you.

See the Blog for all the positions on the birth ball we recommend!
