birth ball
Pregnancy exercise orb
A birth ball is a large inflatable rubber ball used during pregnancy and labor.
Pregnant women sit or lean on it to relieve back pressure, encourage optimal fetal positioning, and ease contractions.
The same object is called an exercise ball or stability ball in fitness contexts: She bounced gently on the birth ball between contractions.
