For women over 6-feet tall, the 75cm Birth Ball by FitBALL provides the optimum relief for pressure and the discomfort of labor. This 29-inch anti-burst birth ball enables ease of movement and enables you to feel supported when in a squatting position, which encourages the baby to move farther down the pelvis. Another comfortable position, especially for lower back pain, is having the birth ball support the mother's upper body when she is on her hands and knees. Not only does it ease back pain, this position helps rotate a baby from a persistent OP (posterior) position.

The 75 cm birth ball is also a comfortable place for moms-to-be to sit on—and get up from—during their last few weeks of pregnancy. Not just helpful during birth, after the baby's arrival, the ball can be used as an exercise ball for core body toning, yoga and pilates. The 75cm birth ball is crafted of heavy-duty material made without latex so it is a perfect choice for those with latex allergies.

The 75 cm size is weight tested up to 600 pounds and is suggested for women over 6-feet tall. This sizing suggestion is based on height for the best stability and balance. A great safety tip when sitting on the birth ball is to keep your feet flat on the floor and your knees are at a 90-degree angle. Some women prefer the next size up if they are within a few inches of the manufacturer's recommended size.

To get the longest life make and full potential from your 75 cm birth ball, inflate it to only 80-percent of its capacity for approximately the first week of use. Then you can inflate it to the full firmness, but always allow a little extra space in the birth ball. This ball is designed to slowly deflate, instead of popping, if it is punctured. Keep your birth ball away from heating elements like a fireplace.

FitBall exercise and birthing balls are well crafted of high quality materials. Physical therapists and personal trainers throughout the U.S. and Canada trust their professional quality balls and accessories. The balls are made of a latex-free material that is designed to deflate slowly if punctured.

Sizing Chart

If your height is close to the next size using the chart below, be sure to order the larger size as the ball can always be slightly under inflated. This is especially true when carrying extra weight during pregnancy.
