How can i pop my water bag? And get it going?

Question

Im 39 weeks pregnant and 2 days … i dont want to be induce. I been walking and jumping on the yoga ball and nothing yet…  just cramps and ALOT OF PRESSURE DOWN THERE. Like someone kicked my vagina hard… idk what to do to make my water bag and get dilate faster?!? With my first i had problems dilating. I couldnt dilate at all i was stuck at 1cm for hours 😭 and contractions were bad i couldnt get the epidural yet !! What can i do to dilate to 3cm + ??? Im getting nervous and anxious 😥

Answer

I totally subscribe to the birthing ball. I sat on that thing and bounced for two hours the night before my due date. My water broke naturally the next morning at 5 am. 
I was also walking everyday around the hilly neighborhood, and sexually active with my husband.

Answer

If you don’t want to be induced, just wait! Spontaneous labor will happen, for the overwhelming majority before 42 weeks. Don’t try to break your waters yourself. If you break your waters before you’re in labor you’re putting yourself at more risk of being induced

Answer

Your water breaking does not always guarantee fast dilation. Your water could break and you could still have to be induced with pitocin if you don’t start progressively dilating.

Answer

IMO laboring with ruptured membranes is way more painful! I've broken my own but only because I'd tried pushing for a while and nothing, once I did I pushed them out immediately, but obviously we were already in the throes of labor. I HATED my AROM inducton labor, honestly.

Answer

Try having sex. Sperm can soften the cervix.

Answer

That is all normal, it is light ning crotch you feel. Or pelvic gridle pain, both are normal, especially so late in pregnancy. And don't pop your bag yourself, that is a great infection hazard.
Move a lot and tell the baby to come. Baby comes when it is ready unfortunately, so there is not much you can do yourself.
