Balloon catheter induction tomorrow..

[Cheznae]

Hi looking for positive stories about a balloon induction, im due to go in tomorrow and very nervous(first baby)...

I had one and it was absolutely fine. Uncomfortable but not painful to put in. Mine kickstarted my contractions and actually fell out after 4 hours as I had dilated enough already, and 5 hours later I had a baby! All in all my birth experience was extremely positive and (currently pg with DC3) I wouldn’t hesitate to have one next time if needed. I actually think it’s far more preferable than other induction methods as it doesn’t use drugs and just tries to stimulate your body to do it naturally. It you have any specific questions let me know!

Thankyou for replying, that makes me feel better..hoping it starts my contractions as im really not wanting induced the other ways...
