I had seen the birthing ball a couple of times, both on TV and Magazines and I thought it was for ‘Oyibo people’, as I mostly saw it on foreign media. Even when it found its way into my local gym, I hardly ever saw it used by anyone. I would later realize the absolute importance of a birthing ball especially in the second half of pregnancy (from 20 weeks), as the abdominal bump grew bigger, with all the attendant discomfort.
