Yes, disgusting and it leads to the new penchant for putting things up women's bums.  Our young women need to be told to "Say, no" when anyone wants to put fingers, foleys, gels, amni hooks, forceps and other   meds and instruments of torture  in their bodily cavities.  Gloria in Vancouver, Canada  Mary Murphy wrote: “Foley balloon plus saline expedites vaginal delivery” Source: Obstetrics & Gynecology 2006; 107: 234-9 Comparing the time between labor induction and delivery with and without infusion of extra-amniotic saline. Why do they always want to put things into woman’s vagina and uterus?  It gets to be obscene.  MM
