Anybody have any experience with oral misoprostol or Foley catheter for induction ?

Question

I’m going to be induced and I heard that the foley was a very rough experience. I learned about oral misoprostol I’m curious to see if anyone has have experience with it.

Answer

I had vaginal misoprostol with my first and a cook balloon which is similar to the foley, but it has two balloons instead of one. One goes inside cervix and one on the outside. The misoprostol got me started and the balloon definitely moved along my dilation and contractions. My entire induction took less than 24 hours from start to delivery. 
I’m having another induction done the same way with this pregnancy

Answer

I had foley during my induction with my 1st kiddo, I don’t recall it being anything to write home about. 
Contractions had me too distracted to think about Foley. It worked well and got me to 5 cm!

Answer

Ive been induced for both of my pregnancies. I had a foley, vaginal misoprostol and pitocin this time around. The foley placement was quite uncomfortable. They struggled getting it to stay in place. Everything definitely helped move the process along as I was only 1cm dilated when we started. Once the foley was placed it was a little over 5 hours when baby arrived.
