The Pezzi Ball Maxafe is a high quality birthing ball made from a superior burst-resistant material that will deflate slowly if cut or punctured.
The Pezzi Ball has several different uses for pregnancy, labour and postnatally.
During pregnancy, the birthing ball can be used as an exercise ball. Birthing ball exercises help to strengthen your body, keeping muscles strong and toned (in preparation for labour) which in turn helps to make for a more comfortable pregnancy carrying your baby. As your pregnancy progresses, sitting or leaning over the ball will help to relieve lower back pain and towards the end of pregnancy the birthing ball can be used to familiarise yourself with birthing positions whilst sitting on it can help encourage your baby to settle into the optimum position prior to birth.
During labour you can rock on the birthing ball for good positioning helping to make birth easier and less painful. Use the birthing ball as part of relaxation in labour, incorporating breathing and massage techniques for holistic pain management.
Following the birth, the ball can be used once more as an exercise ball helping you to regain your figure and get back into shape.
Pezzi Birthing Ball is available in two sizes:
65cm – recommended for heights up to 5’9”
75cm – recommended for heights over 5’9”
To inflate the Pezzi Ball please use a footpump which are available to purchase separately from the dropdown menu.
Benefits of the Pezzi Birth Ball: - Can be used during pregnancy, labour and postnatally as an exercise ball.
- Used as a tool for pelvic floor exercises, the birthing ball will strengthen muscles and increase mobility.

- Helps with labour, assisting you into better positioning for birth whilst providing support. Allows gentle rocking and movement in the pelvis.
- Can be used for post natal exercising helping you to stay fit and healthy.
