Foley catheter?

Question

Due to gestational diabetes and preclampsia risk I have to be induced 1/24 (this Thurs!). My due date was 2/14 but high BP came on suddenly this past week and had to be admitted to hospital several times. 
My doc is doing a foley catheter tomorrow (1/23) to get my cervix started with dialation. Has anyone else had this? just wondering what to expect. Thanks ♡

Answer

I had the Foley catheter with my first child and it did the trick - made me go from no progress to a 4 the next day.   I did have a lot of cramping and it was super uncomfortable.   Good luck !

Answer

I just had one for my c-section. It was completely fine, just a little uncomfortable when they take it out but not painful.

Answer

Same exact due date and going in the same exact night to be induced !!!! I’m type one diabetic

Answer

Had mine put in about 10am. Was told to go back in around 8pm to be checked. It came out on its own around 5pm. Went to the hospital at 8 the doctor checked me and said my cervix was very favourable and he would be surprised if he didn’t see me in later that night. Had my first contraction at 11:15pm and baby came at 5:20am the next morning.

Answer

I had one with my first pregnancy! They’re not bad. My doc taped mine to my leg so every time I walked it would help me dilate. (Needed to be at a 3 for induction) it wasn’t bad at all. Had it put in in the morning and by 5 pm I was at a 3 and it fell out. So depending on the situation/person. It’s not bad :)
