Do they have to break it?

Question

I'm just curious.. Do they have to break your waters? You know how you see the pictures of mothers who give births to their babies still in the sac just clueless that they've been born... So, why do they break it? Besides to just get the birth going faster. Is there a health benefit?

Please no criticism, I'm asking a question and would like real answers. Thank you!

Answer

They break it to speed up labor. I won't let them break mine. Do your research and decide what's best for you. You aren't required to consent to any procedures, although the doctor will make it seem like you do.

Answer

I believe it's usually broke to speed up labor. I was induced so they broke mine early to try to get things going. It's actually better to wait, bc once it breaks you have about 24 hours to deliver before you risk infection.
