Balloon catheter dilation?
40 weeks today and baby is still head down! Hoping for a VBAC, so we’re giving it another week. If no spontaneous labor by Wednesday, we’re inserting the balloon catheter and planning an induction on Thursday. I can’t have cervical ripening medications due to my previous C-section.
Has anyone had the balloon catheter before? Any tips? I’ve heard it’s incredibly painful, but hoping for some stories!
