🌸 "Spring is nature's way of saying, 'Let's party!'" - Robin Williams
As the cold winter months wane and the promise of spring beckons, it's the perfect time for expecting mothers to embrace the season of renewal. Pregnancy during winter can sometimes feel isolating and dreary, but fear not! With the gentle bounce of a Trideer birth ball, you can shake off the winter blues and prepare both body and mind for the blossoming days ahead. Here are five ways to make the most of this versatile tool as you welcome spring with open arms.

Spring Pregnancy & Birth Ball FAQs
When should I start using a birth ball during pregnancy?
You can start using a birth ball as early as the second trimester (around 14 weeks). Spring is a perfect time to begin if you're in your second or third trimester, as the warmer weather makes movement more comfortable.
How does spring weather affect pregnancy exercise?
Warmer spring weather makes it easier to stay active, but be mindful of hydration. The birth ball allows you to exercise indoors with windows open, enjoying fresh air without overheating.
Can I use my birth ball outdoors in spring?
Yes! On mild spring days, you can use your birth ball on a patio or deck (on a non-slip surface). The fresh air and nature connection enhance the experience.
How long should I sit on the birth ball each day?
Start with 10-15 minutes and gradually increase to 30-60 minutes. In spring, you might naturally want to spend more time as the weather improves and energy increases.
