Induction via foley balloon catheter?

Question

I’m getting induced on the 28th my Dr informed she will be inserting a foley ballon Catheter. Can anyone share their experience with this if they have had it done I’ve heard mixed things about it.. I’m just scared & nervous overall I know there will be pain regardless but I just hope it won’t be that bad

Answer

Had it with my second, no pain at al just an odd feeling. 
That being said I would avoid induction at all costs unless medically necessary.

Answer

The pain is more bearable then contractions but once they inflate a balloon, the contractions start pretty instantly. ￼ They will periodically come in to pull the balloon now that doesn’t hurt as bad.

Answer

I had it done when I was dilated at a 2. It got me to a 4/5 and it hurt really bad when they inserted it. I personally won’t ever do it again unless absolutely necessary.
