Just popping back to say - Foley's cath induction = AMAZING! It has a miniscule rupture rate (same as random chance), and the best it of all IT IS REVERSIBLE! Unlike ANY other method it is both safe and reversible (prosto gels can cause rupture/uterine dytonia, once the waters are broken (AROM) or the sintocin is begun there is no going back, if it doesn't work, you get a section). If the Induction fails with a foleys cath they remove it and try again a few days later.

And don't worry Mel - it is LESS hands up the whoohaa than the gels are! They only have to put it in once...
