What did your answers reveal about you?
You are goal-oriented, performance-oriented and like to have things under control in your life. You approach childbirth in the same responsible and rational way, you want to be prepared and feel like you did your best. But… childbirth is not a competition. And exercising with Aniball is not about numbers – you will probably feel better and more confident for a while if you “train” 3 centimeters more than another woman. Or worse, if you don’t do so well. Let us tell you something – paradoxically, how many centimeters you train doesn’t play any role at all in childbirth.
There's no point in comparing yourself to other women. Focus on what can really help you have a smoother baby's arrival.

Relaxation is very important for you, which can help you significantly both during exercise and during childbirth. And that's what Aniball is for. Try to forget about the numbers, exercising with Aniball is about listening to your body and becoming aware of what's happening in it during training - which muscles are involved and how you can consciously relax them with the help of your breath, thus facilitating the baby's journey into the world.
When you stop seeing the goal and start enjoying the journey to it. The exercises may not always go smoothly, you may not always be able to turn off your head and not stress about numbers. But then the day comes when there will be only you and your breath. Your body will naturally tell you which position is best for you during training with Aniball. You will relax, gain confidence and eventually it will go by itself – and at that moment you will be exactly where you are supposed to be.

Aniball allows you to experience the sensations that accompany childbirth in the peace and comfort of your own home – especially the pressure caused by the baby's head in the birth canal. During exercise with it, a woman can try out different birthing positions, find the most suitable one, and at the same time learn basic principles that can contribute to a smooth birth.

The exercise method is based on working with the breath. When inhaling, the pelvic floor muscles relax, and when exhaling, they contract. During childbirth, it is important that instead of controlled pushing, when her body is contracted, a woman learns to consciously relax with the help of her breath and naturally breathe the baby into the world.
Pelvic floor health can affect not only childbirth, but also the quality of many other areas of life – from proper posture, to seemingly unrelated back pain or headaches, to sexuality, incontinence problems, painful menstruation and ovulation, to psychological mood, energy and vitality. Pelvic floor care should therefore be one of the regular rituals that help us maintain life balance and women's health.
The condition for the healthy functioning of the pelvic floor is its elasticity or optimal tension (tonus). If it loses this and is weakened (hypotonic) or, conversely, contracted (hypertonic), sooner or later its function will be impaired.
The pelvic floor is our emotional barometer – it stores fears, stresses, childbirth, but also unpleasant sexual experiences. It is a detector of our vitality, joy and sadness, fatigue and depression. It reacts to all these conditions either by weakening or, conversely, by contracting. Both extremes lead to loss of elasticity and dysfunction.
