breaking water?

[mrsosman8910]

How can I break my water? I need my water to break  though for them to take him out. I'm full term but they want to wait 2 more weeks :(

Let your baby come in his/her own time. Your lucky your doctor is telling you to wait. There is no medical evidence showing that inducing or letting bub stay in there a bit longer is bad for you or the baby. Baby will come when they are ready.

If your baby is past the due date call your doctor if not GO TO THE HOSPITAL BECAUSE YOUR BABY CAN DIE INSIDE THE WOMB

If youre 38wks n want to attempt to break your own water just say so no reason to lie to us and the only way to get an adequate answer iI is if you give the right information. As for CAN you do it yourself? Yes. Very painfully and with risk of scraping and damaging other vaginal parts. And also with a severe bacterial risk to both you and baby. That is the ONLY way to break your own water yourself. However, many women feel if they walk, squat, and have sex it helps speed the process along. Theres the answer I guess your friend and you wanted.

Ahh gotcha! I wasn't judging at all Or calling you out or anything I just wanted to be sure so I can try to give you a brtter answer! i gkt curious after you asked so I did some research yesterday and i read its not good to break your own water at all.. but good luck! I know you must be ready to meet ylur little one

I heard people tell me when your full term you can walk and that helps or having sex also helps I've had friends b full term and not long after having sex their water broke idk tho just somethings I've heard ill try when im full term

[mrsosman8910]

Lol you guys are right I'm only 38 weeks along. I was asking just to ask. If you guys have also read I'm getting a c section no natural birth. I was asking because my friend and I were curious of someone in full term how they could kick start it. I'm here and sing questions not to be judged

Well that's awkward. ..

You're right octoberbaby. She posted last night that she is almost 38w.

[LucyMarie1991]

It is never safe to break your own water. Only 10-15% of women have their water break naturally before labor starts. Don't stress on it so much. Baby will come when ready

[Trusty801]

LET HIM COME ON HIS OWN ITS SAFER ID RATHER WAIT THAN RISK MY BABYS LIFE.

[OctoberBaby5]

I thought you said you were 38 weekk less than a day ago? Either way 38 or 40 I dont think you should try to do anything until you ask your doctor! Except the usual stuff like walking and sex to try to get labor started maybe then the doctor will break your water for ya :)

[mrsosman8910]

I'm 40 weeks but they refuse to induce me until I'm 42 weeks.

Breaking your own water isnt a good idea. Theres no way to safely do it yourself.
try natural things like squatting and lots of walking or try stimulating presure points or having sex or drinking Raspberry leaf tea or taking warm baths or using primrose

[B_Elizabeth]

Idk, but you shouldn't even try to do anything, it could obviously be very dangerous.

[OctoberBaby5]

Are you 40 weeks? How full term are ya lol

[OctoberBaby5]

You Should probably ask your doctor I know a lot of people try to start labor but idk about breaking their water. Good luck!
