Omg!!! When they put the balloon in me I literally started having a panic attack and one giant painful contraction to the point where they had to give me a shot in my uterus to get me to relax, I had it in for like 6 or 7 hours and nobody checked if I was dilated or not within all of that time, and as soon as they took it out my water broke and then I got the epidural that didn't work and then made pushing hard for just one side. It was so hard lol I did get minor pain relief while it was in from some sleepy meds but they didn't really work

my goodness right and they tried to tell me the pain shouldn't be bad just a little pressure and I then had to wait an hour in pain for an epidural just for.it to not take and then had to wait another hour for one so a little over.2 hrs no medicine with it in! @mamabear4cubs

It's the most painful experience ever. I wish I had an epidural before I got mine. It hurt worse than labor for me
