Im 27 weeks pregnant and swallowed the plastic ball to my tounge ring will my baby be okay??

Yes, it will not: It will not hurt the baby. You should pass in in your stool. If you start to have abdominal pain or nausea and vomiting, you need to be seen to rule out an obstruction, though I would think it unlikely.

Yes: Your esophagus and gastrointestinal tract does not conner with your baby's "environment" and if the ball is small and round, it should pass without damage to the lining of your intestines and not affect your baby.
