I had a Cook balloon fitted yesterday lunchtime to start an induction at 40+3. Had some awful cramps for a couple of hours but nothing since. I feel a constant urge to poo but can’t, it’s so uncomfortable! And feeling like I need to wee so often but nothing happening. Just not sure what’s normal and slightly worried that the lack of any pains means that it’s not doing what it should be doing. I’m going back at lunch to have it removed but just wondered if anyone had any experience of this method? It’s my first baby so they did say it was likely they’d need to manually break my waters rather than the balloon falling out itself and getting things started.
