What do docs use to break your water?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Amnihook: They use a special tool called an amniotic fluid hook (amnihook) which looks like a crochet hook. It's inserted through the vagina and ruptures the amniotic sac. This is 'breaking your water' and is only done if you haven't already done it spontaneously.
