Currently being induced using the balloon catheter- how long did it take for you?

Had my routine 40 week midwife appointment and after a referral to the day assessment unit and no sign of my blood pressure dropping, I've been admitted and subsequently induced.

Does anyone have any experiences with the balloon induction and how long it was from insertion to giving birth? Did you end up on the drip after or just had your waters broken and progressed from there?

Trying to see if I might be in with a chance of a leap year baby!

Hi @Alarae, how is it going? I’m looking at a balloon induction should my baby go overdue but am put off by the insertion process. I hope it’s been a good experience for you and you didn’t have to wait too long!
