A member asked:
I am currently in the hospital and i'm being induced. i haven't progressed past 3cm and 50% effaced. the doctor hasn't broken my water because babys head isnt low but my water sack is. why would they induce me and not break my water?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Avoid cord prolapse: They are likely not breaking your water until you are more dilated and the baby's head is "engaged", meaning it's lower in the pelvis. If water breaks and head not down, risk the cord relapsing and this can be very serious, even fatal to the baby. Sounds like your OB doing things just right to protect you and your baby. Try to relax and trust OB, congratulations in advance!

I think I may've punctured my ear drum on Saturday morning. I had blood thru the day on Saturday, but has stopped now. I had a RN friend of mine look at it Sunday morning and everything we could find on line is that it should heal itself, and to not let water get in it.She asked some of the people at the hospital that she works with and they said the same thing. I don't want to go to doctor because of the Covid stuff nowadays, so was hoping you could help. punctured ear drum?
