  Generally speaking, after eight hours of placing a balloon, the cervix will open, so the stomach will continue to feel pain after placing the balloon. This is because it stimulates contractions, softens the cervical canal, and causes pain when the cervix opens. There is no need to worry too much.

  Placing a balloon, also known as a water release balloon, is a method of inducing labor in pregnant women who are about to give birth. It is mainly used to help soften the cervix. Placing a water sac between the uterine wall and membranes increases intrauterine pressure and mechanical stimulation of the cervical canal, causing the uterus to contract and making it easier to expel the fetus and placenta.

  Balloon aspiration is usually used clinically for pregnant women who cannot deliver normally at the latest, and requires the combination of oxytocin. Generally, within a few hours, the cervix will fully open and the fetus can be delivered normally. For pregnant women who undergo balloon dilation for labor, it is necessary to maintain sufficient energy and supplement high-energy foods appropriately to ensure sufficient energy during the later stages of labor, but not too nervous and anxious.
