inducing labor yourself?

just a question..no bashing...what is the difference between your water breaking on its own (the affects) and breaking your water yourself? I am 2 cm and 50% effaced and am in a lot of pain but the hospital won't keep me unless I am 4cm. feedback would help a lot. NO BASHING

If you are 37 weeks along then start walking, swaying on a exercise ball, nipple stimulation, and massage your ankles for the pressure point that leads to your pelvis muscles. You can look that up on Google for the exact spot to rub or have pedis done!

How can you break your water yourself? That sounds incredibly dangerous! Do you mean simply trying to self induce or do you actually mean breaking your own water?
