I'm 41 w, 6 d today. I have an appt. to have a Foley cath/balloon placed this afternoon. I risk out of my BC Thursday at midnight (have to be in active labor at that time) As of the 17th, I was 1 cm and 40% effaced, and my MWs all seem to agree that the Foley is the best option at this point, hoping it will kick labor into gear or at least make me more favorable to cohosh/castor oil/etc., if need be.
FWIW, I don't want to do anything to hurry this babe along, but my only other option is a hospital birth (hubby is not comfy with a homebirth, I respect that, and I want to avoid the hospital if at all possible.)
Anyway - I was hoping to read some Foley experiences.
