It depends on your height, generally 65cm for average height. Ask your doctor.
For pregnancy, the correct yoga ball size is crucial for comfort and safety. Most recommendations are based on height: 55cm for under 5'4", 65cm for 5'4"-5'10", and 75cm for over 5'10". Always check with your gynaecologist before starting any new exercise during pregnancy.
Oh, I just used one throughout my pregnancy! The 65cm size was perfect for me (I'm 5'5"). It made such a difference for back pain and bouncing during labor prep. Just make sure your knees are lower than your hips when you sit on it – that's the main thing my physio told me.
You need to match the ball size to your height. For most Indian women, a 65cm ball is good. If you're taller than 5'8" or so, then maybe 75cm. The key is that your hips should be slightly higher than your knees when you sit on it. Check online guides or with your physio.
Many women find yoga balls helpful for pregnancy discomforts! For size, it usually depends on your height. If you're around 5'3" to 5'9", a 65cm ball should work well so your hips are slightly above your knees. It's good to try sitting on one before buying if possible to check comfort.

My daughter-in-law used a yoga ball during her pregnancy, it helped her a lot with back pain. Her doctor suggested one where her hips were slightly higher than her knees when she sat on it. For her height (around 5'4"), a 65cm one worked perfectly. Just check your height chart and ask your doctor.
