I literately had it done a few min ago and was expecting awful pain from it as I've read so many bad stories of how painful it was. I had it done and For me it honestly didn't feel any worse than the doctor checking to see how dilated I was. If nothing happens on its own I will start poticin tomorrow morning. Really wanted an all natural delivery but just wanted to share my experience with the ballon if anyone might be considering getting it and not be scared because all i read was horror stories about how painful it was.
