The smallest one should be good. Wishing you a blessed birth. http://www.cappa.net/documents/Articles/Peanut%20Ball.pdf

You want your feet to touch the ground when sitting in the middle - measure from the knee to the heel

Typically, individuals less than 4 feet, 6 inches require a 30 cm ball. You should choose a 45 cm ball if you are between 4 feet, 6 inches to 5 feet tall. From 5 feet to 5 feet, 5 inches, select a 55 cm ball. If you are between 5 feet, 6 inches and 6 feet, 2 inches, use a 65 cm ball. If your height exceeds 6 feet, 2 inches tall, opt for a 75 cm ball.

Hi, all I can tell you is that the large is huge. Much larger than expected. About the size of a blimp! I would call isokenetics before purchasing. Btw, the quality of the ball is top notch. Good luck.

I'm 180lbs and have the medium. I would suggest you get the small. It still may slide down with vibration, because the design. It's a great product by the way!

The guide says to get the pre pregnancy size, I think there's a chart for reference. For example I was pre pregnancy 4-6, so the guide size to use small & I think it's accurate as it forces your body to squeeze. Hope that help, good luck with rest of the pregnancy & many congrats on the baby :)

I measured my leg on the inside from the back of the knee to the floor. I am 5'8-1/2 inches tall. But have a short fore leg. The green ball was perfect after measuring and looking at the slight angle when sitting in a chair and then measured to where the bottom of my butt would come. You do want a little angle downward to you knee. You can also blow it up a little more and let a little air out to make it shorter. I also did that and hopped up and down on it to make sure it would work. In your case being preg. you should have someone with you till you get use to it and the movement takes a little bit to to that.

I have an 18 lb ball from a different brand & it is around 1- 1/2 times the size of my 8 lb Valeo ball. I'd say add an inch to the circumference for a couple more pounds added. I hope this helps. I do like the Valeo brand over all others. Very nice grip.

The peanut squishes when you sit on it, so go taller than the regular desk chair height. You want it to fit under the table or desk that the child will sit at, so go with something shorter than the height of the bottom of the desk. If that still leaves you with more than one choice, go with the bigger one to make the peanut more useful for longer as the child grows. You can always leave the ball less inflated if it turns out to be a little too tall.

You definitely want it tighter than loose so the baby fits snugly. I'm not sure what size would be best for you. I'm 5'9" and wear a size 14 or XL in shirts/dresses and the large was too big and didn't shrink in multiple hot water washes. I did have the organic version so I don't know if that matters with the size (I don't think it should). Maybe if you call the company they would help more. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

I searched online and found size/weight requirements for exercise balls. Try searching "exercise ball sizing chart".

I got the XL. I typically wear a size 18/20. The belt is very adjustable so chances are it'll fit if you get a XL or XXL. It's all velcro so adjust away. To be on the safe side you may want to go with XXL if they have it in stock that way you can make it tighter if needed. Congrats on your baby!!

I have twins and they are 9 months. We haven't used it in quite a while. I would say, get an exercise ball instead and save your money. I just don't think you will use it that long.

David, I ordered the size according to the height and weight chart and they ended up being too snug and actually ran so I returned them. Unfortunately, I can not answer the benefits of wearing these hose. My intention was for circulation support and not cramping. In the future, I would probably order Jobst brand.

It will depend a little on what you're using the ball for. I am also 5'5", but I'm currently 280 lbs. I sit on the blue 75cm ball every day at work as my office "chair". Mine is somewhat too large for me fully inflated as it will push my calves away from me, not really allowing a "proper" 90 degree bend at my knees. Without this size ball, however, I'd be sitting far too low at my desk to function. As an exercise ball, I firmly believe the 65 cm ball will work well for you with no question. As an office "chair" make sure to account for your weight and measure to ensure this will give you enough height. Measure the distance from hip to floor while sitting on your current desk chair (adjusted to your required working height). Then see if you can sit on a friend's exercise ball or a ball at your local gym and measure again from hip to floor and compare. If the properly inflated ball allows you enough height to work, you're good to go!

according to their website, you should use the green/medium one. I wish Amazon would post the sizes in the description (or maybe I am missing it??) http://life.gaiam.com/article/top-10-balance-ball-exercise-ball-stability-ball-faqs

I was a medium size 4/6 125 lbs pre pregnancy, so i ordered a M. It was tight, but as it should be. It was not uncomfortable at all. Felt good. Held together, vs my jiggly self. I had a vaginal delivery, so im unsure how it would work w a c-sec insicion. I recommend this product.
