I'd recommend the 65in. It would give you a little more support than the 55in and would be a better fit for your height. The 75in is pretty large.

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 bought my ball when I was pregnant too. I'm 5'6 and bought the large one. I loved it then and still use it now. Baby even likes being bounced on.

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 used mine for light jogging at first, up until probably 25 weeks of pregnancy. That's when my little one decided it would be a great time to just lay across my round ligaments and no amount of support could help me. I still use it while teaching ballet classes at 33 weeks and it helps immensely.Really good for all the sciatic pain I had, too.

I don't know how you got my information but I don't sell this product, I purchased this product, which I love. Just go to any sport store and get a balance ball the same size. Will work perfectly!

The first size I'd get would be a size above wha. I wore pre-pregnancy. This depends on how much you gained I guess too. It took a few weeks before I was back in my regular clothes (close to it)...and then I needed the smaller size. Guess overall it depends on how much you gained in comparison to what you normally wear.

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!

I'm 5'7" and the only thing I've got to say on the negative side is that the gear runs on the short side. Given your length, I'd go large. Besides, just make sure the order is fulfilled by Amazon you can easily return then for an exchange. If you've got the cash, you can even buy one in each size, try them on, and return the one you don't like. Still, large is my bet for you. The most important thing is to make sure you've got the right fit for the wrist guards, and these are some of the best I've used. The design is ergonomic, the fit on the lower hands is great, the guards for between your thumbs and hands is great, and the wrist extensions are solid. A bump on a shin or a scrape on an arm can heal quickly. A broken wrist because the guards don't fit right or give you proper coverage given the length you likely have on me, probably a good 2.5" reach each arm, go large and send them back if they're not right. You don't have much to lose if they're right the first time. Hope that helps. Good luck!

I am 5'2 and have the smaller ball; I can tell you it sits pretty low to the ground. The larger one may work with a very short desk, but the problem, I think, would be balancing on it for long periods. Why don't you just take it to work and use it to stretch during breaks? Hope this helps somewhat.

if you're between 180-200 lbs, i'd go with the large. thats the size i ordered. it's a little long in the leg, but it works!!!. I'm 5ft even. I'm pregnant so I have to put it on raincheck for now...lol...good luck hun!!!

Depends on what you are using it for. The work out video is lifting and stretching mostly. 75 CM is almost 30 inches, I am 5'10 and use the ball to sit on like a chair sometimes. 75 CM is the largest of them

I am 5' and bought the 2.5 lb one. This seems just right for a fun workout for me.

Get the 45 cm ball is under 5' tall; 55 cm for 5'-5'6"; 65 cm for 5'6"-6'; 75 cm for 6'-6'5" and 85 cm ball if over 6'5" tall. I am 5'10" and got the 65 cm ball which is just right for me!

I'm 6' and 260lbs and fit fine. The leg positioning is adjustable and that helps control your balance point. My wife is 5'5" and we use different adjustment positions but it works basically the same for both of us. Hopefully someone taller will chime in but that may help if not.

I am a little heavier than you are and about the same height and the orange ball has been perfect. I don't feel the back pains I used to. The blue one was too big to keep in the house although the results concerning exercises were as good.it is a great buy.

I am size 6 (pre-pregnancy). 5'2 and 5 months pregnant at 160lbs. Should I order Large?

I am 5'6" . I purchased the medium. I would think that the small or medium would work for you. Try to go thru all the reviews and see what someone your size has to say if you haven't already. I tried to find reviews with close to my height. But I do think either small or medium would work. Good Luck.

I'm 5'2" and this ball works great for me. It's just the right height to balance on like a chair and they don't say this on here, but it's also weighted so if you fall off of it - it doesn't go far. Hope this helps!
