I bought this ball because I'm a tall women and was pregnant and trying to induce labor. I really didn't use it much while pregnant-I'd occasionally sit on it to relieve back pain, but it gets so much use with a newborn.If the baby is really fussy, bouncing with them on the yoga ball has helped put them to sleep many times. It also seems to help getting gas out. It does take up a lot of room but it's worth it to soothe an upset baby in my opinion.
