Helps With
A gentle pelvic mobility exercise that helps encourage hip movement, ease lower back tension and support optimal baby positioning as you approach labour.
Instructions
-
1
Seated Start
Begin in a seated ball position, sitting tall with feet planted firmly on the floor.
-
2
Draw Figure 8
Move your hips like you're drawing a figure eight in a clockwise direction and feel tension release.
-
3
Switch Direction
Reverse the motion and draw the figure eight in the opposite direction.
-
4
Let Ball Pivot
Let the ball pivot under you, leaning forwards and back as you move through the motion.
-
5
Continue Gently
Repeat as many times as feels good, stopping when you notice any signs of tiredness.
Tip
Especially useful in the final weeks — the rolling pelvic motion can help baby settle into an optimal head-down, anterior position for birth.
