breaking water

I am overdue and nothing is working to naturally induce my labor. I am dilated to 2cm and 70% effaced. I have been this way for 2 weeks. I have tried Caster Oil and other natural ways, like sex and walking. Has anyone broke their own water to start labor?

i agree that is something never to be messed with especially if your baby is really low you could cut its head as it is my baby was born last week with a scratch on her head from the doctor breaking my water actually scratched 3 times my step sisiter the same thing happened baby born with a cut head from doctor breaking waters things like this are just noy worth risking anything for all you pregnant ladies need to relax the baby will come when its ready.
