Once admitted, women who will have a transcervical balloon catheter inserted for induction will be approached for participation in this study. If they agree to be take part in this study (tape or no tape) they will be randomized into the study. After the balloon catheter is inserted, the balloon will then be filled with approximately 50-60 mL of normal saline, this is normal procedure. Study related: If randomized to \"No Taping\" the foley will be positioned comfortable and not placed to tension. For the \"Tension\" arm, tension will be placed on the balloon catheter, which will then be taped to the patient\'s inner thigh. The tension will be assessed and retaped as needed approximately every 30 minutes by the research and/or the nursing staff.
