Questions about induction?

Question

We are going to start with the foley bulb.
I've heard it's pretty painful.. but will it be that bad considering I'm already 2cm dilated and 80% effaced? Does it make a difference compared to someone who isn't dilating at all!? 
Can I also suggest to them I don't want to do a foley bulb.. I want to go straight to pitocin. Idk what it is about that foley bulb but it scares me to death!

Answer

I was 2cm when I got the bulb..i didn't think it hurt but it didn't feel good, either..it definitely made a difference for me..i was 40w2d and had been 2cm since I was 36w..in 2 hrs after having the bulb put in, I dilated to 5cm and it fell out when I went to pee..the only part that does hurt is getting it inflated but after that it's just uncomfortable..i dilated faster with it than I did with the pitocin..express your concerns if you really don't went it, though bc you have to be comfortable as you can..good luck..i hope this helped

Answer

I had to stop, have them pull it out before it was even in place, and get the epidural before trying again and it didn't even work after that lol

Answer

I would suggest doing some research on different induction methods to see what you want to do. You can say no to the bulb if you want to.
