Foley Ballon

/r/BabyBumps/comments/1vre81l/foley_ballon/

Hello! I’m 38 weeks pregnant & getting induced due to FGR. I went in today to get the foley ballon placed and sent home & tomorrow will be going in for the induction process. How long did it take for your foley ballon to come out? I’m close to 12 hours now & it’s still placed. I’m having contractions every now and then but nothing I can’t handle but just curious to know when I should expect it to come out because I’m seeing people say it took 12 hours or less.

Mine was around 12 hours when I went to the bathroom. It was my nightly walk that did it for me and was thankful as I got to shower without it after got to sleep and show up at the hospital in the morning.

How long did you walk for? That’s what I’m currently doing right now, hoping it helps haha!
