Learn how to effectively use peanut balls in labor
If you’re planning on an epidural or want to take advantage of this awesome labor tool and not sure if your hospital has peanut balls yet, they’re actually really affordable at Amazon. They’re also burst resistant – pretty big deal.
You can even learn how to use peanut balls before your labor begins!
I’ve been a registered nurse on a labor and delivery unit for over a decade, and I’m an Authorized Peanut Ball Trainer – I know Peanut Balls. There’s study after study showing how effective they are at reducing the length of labor in first time birthing people and subsequent births, lowering c-section rates, and improving comfort in women with epidurals….the list goes on and on.
Simply put, they work! I’ve seen it!
Birthers without epidurals that need to rotate baby, open the pelvis, and let baby descend – watch out! When we need the most space for baby, I encourage the peanut ball. Sometimes, effectiveness in labor isn’t super comfortable. If the birthing person wants to try it for labor augmentation, and they can relax with a peanut ball for 2 or 3 contractions, it has the potential to really get the job done. If those few intense contractions are possible, they are usually rewarded with the urge to push shortly thereafter!
If you’re reading and thinking that you wish you were as excited about all of the other facets of labor as you are now about peanut balls, I hear ya. I was super terrified of labor, pushing, pooping, tearing, natural-crunchy-how-does-a-baby-fit-through-there expectations and questions swarming around in my head.
You need to know your options in a non-intimidating way – like an online resource!
Have you ever watched 2 pregnant people wrestle a rubber peanut ball for demonstration in a labor bed? That’s what it’s like when your labor nurse is also pregnant – and it should seriously win some America’s Funniest Home Video mullah. I mean, seriously, babies are expensive, and these peanut balls are bigger than you’d expect!
Check it out, and comment on the video what you learned and how you’re going to try them out yourself!

I found you from Hilary’s new podcast. She’s kinda my blogging BFF. Anyways, just wanted to leave a comment to share how much a peanut ball made my last epidural birth go from stalled to baby in the next 40 minutes!! It was awesome!! I have learned over my multiple deliveries how important positioning is to getting baby to come faster.

I precisely desired to thank you very much yet again. I’m not certain the things I would’ve sorted out without the actual points shown by you concerning that subject. It previously was a real horrifying problem in my view, however , seeing this professional strategy you processed the issue forced me to cry for happiness. Now i’m happier for the information and in addition sincerely hope you know what a powerful job you were getting into teaching men and women through the use of your webpage. I am sure you’ve never met all of us.
