What’s the most painful induction method?

Question

I’ll be induced this Sunday & im wondering what is the most painful induction method. I know they have the pill the ballon & some other things but I want to know which one was the least painful or more painful for you

Answer

Dude, I had the Cervidil implant and it was supposed to last 12 hours. I made it to five. I couldn't handle the pain anymore. I told them if they didn't take it out I'd rip the f**king thing out myself. The Foley balloon apparently hurts like the Dickens as well, but, I wouldn't know about that one.

Answer

Go with the pill!

Answer

Balloon is the worst but they start with the smallest intervention possible and move up step by step. They wont start with the balloon

Answer

Fucking ballon was murder. My epidural failed and I was screaming as they were trying to insert it

Answer

I had the cytotec pill, pitocin, the cook catheter, and had my membranes ruptured. I barely noticed the pill. The catheter and pitocin were definitely painful. However, once my membranes were ruptured, that’s when I felt the most pain, I even threw up, it was so painful. 
All, that being “said,” I didn’t have to take any pain meds during my labor and deliver AND I didn’t tear or need any stitches. So,..in the end, all of these inducing strategies did their “job” and it was all totally worth it!

Answer

i had the miso pill and pitocin. the pill was inserted vaginally and did absolutely nothing. i had a tiiiny bit of cramping with that. the pitocin wasn’t bad..at first. then once my water broke it was hell. literal hell. once i got my epidural it didn’t have time to kick in before i delivered her so i felt everything from start to finish

Answer

I heard thr balloon is bad. And i guess it smells bad too. 
I had pitcoin. But I guess they say that gives you worse contractions! But its labor. Its gonna hurt. Lol

Answer

I had epidural , I think they did most methods the balloon and pictocin etc but the epidural I didn’t really feel anything like you feel but not pain.

Answer

I have been induced 2 times. First time they did the bulb then started pitocin and the send time I was already a 3 so we skipped the bulb and just did pitocin. They both were a breeze to me. 
I had pit on high for both and contractions were barely felt. I had natural births for all three. 
I firmly believe it is your mindset when you go in!

Answer

I hate pitocin drip. I had with my first and it made everything so much more painful so I was determined not to get it with my 2nd. I went into labor on my own and was dilated at 6 1/2 and wasn’t moving from there for a while. They talked me into getting a little to live things along and not cause for c section. I did and regretted it immediately. It intensifies the pain so much more. I didn’t even have to have the epidural until the pit drip and might have not had to have it at all. The pain wasn’t as bad without it.
