How can i get my water to break?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I want my baby now: You do nothing. You do not force this. Once the water breaks you have 24 hours to deliver the child. Anything longer can lead to dangerous outcomes for your baby. Please do not force this natural process to happen any sooner than is safe. Your obstetrician will know when it is safe to 'induce' your labor if you fail to start on your own.
