Foley Ballon?

Question

I’m a FTM and I’m being induced tomorrow afternoon!!! I’m 39 weeks tomorrow. 
My doctor wants to start by inserting the Foley balloon and having it stay in over night. I’ve heard this can be quite painful. 
Any Moms who have been through this method before and can offer some advice or encouragement to calm my nerves please? 
Thanks in advance!!

Answer

Following! I’m a FTM too, I’m almost 34 weeks and will be having these discussions with my doc soon. 
At OP, did your doctor give you options?

Answer

It was a bit painful when they pulled it out. But The pain wasn’t anything really compared to the contraction pains I had later. I did 24 + hrs of labor plus the Foley bulb without an epidural. I got the epidural when they told me they were going to break my waters.
