SHOULD YOU GET YOUR WATER BROKEN? What Is An Artificial Rupture of Membranes | The Induction Series
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 лип 2024
- YOUR WATER BREAKING DOESN'T ALWAYS HAPPEN ON ITS OWN. Whether labor has been naturally progressing or you are in the middle of the induction process, sometimes your care team will encourage an Amniotomy or AROM (artificial rupture of membrane which is the amniotic sac) as one of the ways to speed up labor, otherwise known as labor augmentation.
If you are wondering SHOULD I GET MY WATER BROKEN? You need to know the risks and benefits and when it's best to get an artificial rupture of membranes. In this video, you will learn one of the ways to answer how is labor induced and how to make labor progress. Labor induction doesn't have to be something you're scared about when you are informed and empowered about having a baby and giving birth. When you educate yourself on what to know about labor, even if it doesn't start off the way you most desired it to, you can have a positive and empowering birth!

I had my water broken after being with 5 cm for 2 WEEKS (YES, 2 WEEKS). After that everything progressed just fine, had my baby 4 hours later. No regrets!!
I wish i knew about this before my delivery. I had a traumatic experience including c-section because my so called care providers didnt follow my birth plan and played on my ignorance. Bridget your doing a fantastic job educating people like me who dont know all these fancy terminologies and to be prepared for all the scenarios. Yah bless your soul. I really appreciate your knowledge and your willingness to share. Thank you.
I had my waters broken at 5cm after being in early back labor for 5 days...it was the right thing for me and finally got me progressing. I wouldn't have been able to stick to my natural birth plan if not for it so I am thankful! It turns out I had Polyhadramnios that was not letting me progress and causing horrible back labor
Hi! Could you possibly make a video regarding patient rights? I’m just so overwhelmed with what we can say yes or no to and would love if you could make something regarding that.
Hello, not sure if you e found your answers yet, but there’s also a L&D nurse I follow, her channel is called Bundle Birth and she has a video answering your question! It titled “What can/can’t you do in the hospital.” You can also look up Patients Bill of Rights if you live in the U.S. anywhere on the internet, all hospitals have to honor that by law.
Thank you for this whole series. I had cholestias and decreased fetal movement so my care provider decided to induce since both the baby and I were at risk. It was not in my birth plan to be induced, however, when I was first diagnosed with cholestias, I knew that it was likely that this would cause a need for inductoon. To prepare I watched this series, which I am so glad I did, because my body did not respond to the misoprostol and first round of pitocin, so we used cervidil, a second of pitocin and broke my water. Having knowledge about all of these procedures and understanding that it was medically necessary really helped me when I started to get discouraged that we were not able to follow my birth plan. Though the last hour of labor was a true test of physically mindset and endurance when it came time to push thanks to your videos I had the knowledge and skills to push my beautiful baby girl out in less than 30 minutes and entered a very trance like state, where I was zeroing in on the need to push and blocking out all other pain. Though the only thing that went according to my birth plan was having a vaginal birth, I was still able to have a very positive birth experience thanks to my wonderful care providers and the knowledge I obtained from your videos.
I know this comment is a couple years old an you probably won't see this but thank you for sharing!
I'm sitting in the same boat as you were and looking at an induction. I have been really nervous but this series and the comments are helping me so much!
Thank you so much for such a helpful information. I am 38 weeks and was thinking about getting this done next week just because a lot of people talk about how effective it is. After I watched your video and knowing what actually it is and if it is really necessary for me or not, I have decided to wait to get it done for now. I love watching your videos and thank you very much for your help!
Hey Bridget I am Kwhen from Cebu Ph , I gave birth last Sunday and all of these videos were so useful during the tough labor hours.Thank you so much without all of your videos I may had pass out or chicken out with the whole process.My baby girl would like to say thank you as well for guiding her mommy on her way out and delivering her safely.Lastly, I hope you would do more podcast.Thank you so much Bridget words aren't enough but thank you so much..
I love watching your videos. I've learned alot and your content is very helpful. I've given birth 3 times and also due December 22nd with baby #4 (2 inductions, 1 natural) my water was broken for me all 3 times and I never had any complications and 3 very quick labors/deliveries.
Thank you so much I’m about to have this happen in the morning for my first baby and your videos have really informed me and filled me with bravery and excitement. Thank you so much.
I’m a first time mom, due Monday, and induction turning into c section scares me. I was wondering if they actually NEED to break my water or if i had a right to say no, and this video answered all my questions! I’m so happy i watched this i feel better going into it
Thank u, thank u, thank u. I only wish this information was available to me before I had my “emergency c-section”, which was 6 weeks ago :( I knew it wasn’t necessary! Cause I tried so hard to cultivate a natural birth right up until the end!
Thank you for all the information you creating. It gives first time mommas like me who knows nothing a chance to prepare for the unexpected.
Wish I had this before I gave birth in June! I was in prolonged labor & knew of some of the risks of breaking my waters. I was too scared of infection so I asked that that would be the last step we took in progressing my labor. I ended up needing a hospital transfer from my birth center because of fetal heart distress & a cervical lip after my water was broken. My dreams of an unmedicated birth went out the window. Thanks be to God I was able to push her out after an epidural after 54 hrs of labor!
Thank you for this valuable information you shared! Your channel is very helpful. Thank you for sharing all of your pregnancy/labor & delivery knowledge with us. 💕🤗
Thanks for the information!
Getting my water broken was the BEST decision for me. I was 8 cm for a long time, and the midwife could tell the baby was very close to the cervix. I remember feeling so relieved when it broke, and she was born within the next 2 hours.
Did it hurt when she broke the water?
@@roxannebennett5809 not at all! It was a huge relief
My water was broken without my consent or knowledge.
Well… I was progressing very slowly, and the midwife was having another routine dilation and it just got more and more intensely painful. I told her to stop, I was struggling to get her to stop, calling out for my husband to make her stop, but she wouldn’t. I felt so betrayed when my husband said, “Bae, let her do it”.😏
My heart sank and I felt so helpless and hopeless in that moment. 😒
Well, afterwards, my dilation progressed really quickly afterwards. The doctor had sue asked that I be processed for a C-section but that water break saved me. 😅
I just wish I was forewarned, informed or at least told what was happening and why. 😅
Thank you for this video. ❤
I would sue
Thank you! I'm due November 30th, and plan to be induced on/around that date if baby doesn't come this week. I'm trying to learn all that I can about inductions
This is how I had my son. I was not ready for the change in intensity of the labor. The thing that scared me the most during my labor was that I couldn’t stop shaking, it was completely uncontrollable. Once he was out I immediately had relief of all pain and shaking and I finally felt “normal” again.
From my latest birth and first induction (the other 2 were natural/not induced) I would not suggest having them break your water unless you want the pain to go from 0 to 100 in the shortest amount of time. I wish I had know that ot was going to happen I would have said no and kept it going as I was.
One time I have given birth with waters broken early & the other with no intervention. There is a big difference! The waters broken makes baby's hard head press on cervix you can feel it. I pushed him out fast in a few pushes because nothing is stopping the baby. I tore that time 4th degree . The next one I didn't want that to happen lol. I didn't allow any internal checks in labor until I felt ready to push. My baby took probably about an hour to push out, because the waters cushioned his head. My dr was getting pissed. I told her to calm down. I trusted the process. He was born fully "en caul" in the sack☺️
Well done! 👏🏾 it is your birth and not an emergency after all!
Telling doc to calm down that's 👍
@@beautifullthings well thank you ☺️ unfortunately she (my Dr.at delivery) in her anxiety to go back to work rushed my after birth & pulled my cord out of me and made me internally bleed. An otherwise great birth became a after birth trauma. I didn’t like to tell this story but feel its important. I lost a lot of blood & I think she pulled the placenta out of me. I lost a huge bag of blood & she didn’t even offer me a transfusion …then she punched my stomach to stop the bleeding, after I had just given birth. This was with a doula present that I hired. Listen to your instinct ladies.
@@LorraineJohnson23 That is so disturbing to hear what she did after delivery. It sounds like retaliation on her part and blatant malpractice that had life threatening consequences for you.
Love this video.
I'm 40 weeks in 2 days with baby #3, and my midwife scheduled me for an induction on that day, she wants to break my water and let me walk around to try and start it. She says she doesn't want to use pictocin until after I walk around for a few hours after breaking my waters.
Gonna ask her to check me again before we continue with it, I was 2.5cm and 50% a week ago, so I'm hoping I'm further along. Trying my best to go into labor naturally before my induction!
When I was in labor, it lasted a week and I was barely dilating. I thought maybe pooping would easy the pain. I pushed so hard I popped my water! At first i thought i passed my mucus plug a second time but when i didnt stop trickling, i knew my water had broken. That's when things started getting really intense. After about 30 minutes, I was asking to go back to the hospital, my mom packed up the hotel room (I needed unlimited hot water and her house had too small a tank) as quickly as she could and drove me to the hospital, which was an hour away. We got there and about an hour or two after getting to the ward, they gave me the epidural. Sweet, sweet relief after a week without sleeping more than 30 minutes. I slept for who knows how many hours and then the doctor told me to start pushing and explained how to push, and after 4 pushes in 9 minutes, baby was out.
My water was leaking before I arrived at the hospital. They ruptured my water at 5 cms and 5 minutes later I was fully dilated and had my baby 3 pushes later
Did it hurt when they broke the water ?
@@roxannebennett5809 no. I didn’t feel anything but extra liquid
I wish I had saw this video two months ago 😫 attempted VBAC, everything was going great, checked in at hospital with bulging bag, 6cm and contractions every 2 minutes... barely checked in and they were pushing so hard to break my water and start pitocin. The nurse word for word said I needed to “poop or get off the pot” needless to say, I caved to both and ended up with a c-section again 😔
My midwife ruptured my membranes when I was in labor, at probably around 9cm. I was exhausted and she suggested it to speed up the end of my labor. It worked out fine, but next time I would probably just let it happen naturally.
Hows your pregnancy going? Hope it's going great and healthy for both you and baby
I was stuck at 3cm for over 24hrs with intense contractions. I couldn’t handle it anymore, I was exhausted and wasn’t progressing. My dr. Broke my water and STILL wasn’t progressing. It was so exhausting😭
I was dilated to 10, 100% effaced, and station +3. Staff freaked because I progressed quickly and external monitors weren't working, so they artificially ruptured my membranes without my consent
Wish they wouldn't have as there was no reason except for their panic and overreliance on external monitoring. I would have loved to be able to have a photo of my baby being born en caul. Even though the hospital here doesn't allow photos during birth lol
Today i am 39 week started and my water broke in 8 am Friday but my dr send me home said me to come back Saturday morning 7 am she said your labour will started in the morning
I was in labor 2 hours after breaking my water but i wish I tried to naturally have my water break because I was doing great at 7cm didn’t feel any bad pains till after they broke my water I was crying for an epidural after 20 minutes. So I feel like if I would’ve waited and tried other positions I could’ve gone natural and had the full experience. ☺️💜 all in all I still had an amazing birth experience.
My midwife broke my membranes with her finger, she told me my baby would come out as soon as she did and no joke he was born in 6 min.
She said I could have been contracting for an hour or two more if she had not done that, is this accurate? And if I my baby happened to stay in the sac would the delivery be more painful or risk of severe tearing?
Has anyone expirenced this?
I ask because I was not in favorable position in the birthpool when this happened and I asked to change but everything happened so fast and I ended up tearing and feeling alot more trauma from this birth than before.
I do not blame the breaking of waters for this, I wish someone would have turned me. But I have always been curious what it would have been like if my baby happened to be birthed in the sac still?
( and had I been in the position I expressed just before)
I had to have my amniotic sack broken by the doctor. It was so ugly and prolonged, they couldn’t break it and they scratched up my baby’s head in the process. In the end, none of it mattered and it led to an emergency c section…
This is right on time. I'm being induced at 9am on 12/1 and I've been so nervous because this isn't what I planned.
I was so nervous with my induction too. Please know there are so many positive outcomes 🤍 you’ll do great
I recommend watching Sarah Lavonne all about avoiding a c-section and she has a video about induction as well!! She is an RN and Midwife! I love her and Bridget!❤️
PS I am pregnant with my second boy. Nothing ever goes as planned so always prepare yourself to trust your body and trust God! Praying for you! Your body was made for this!!!
@@bethanydawnbarron4548 I agree with this! Sarah educated me SO much. Advocate for yourself!
Having my water broken made the pain ten times worse but that’s just me
I wish I knew so many more things with my first pregnancy. This is exactly what happened to me. Water was broken and baby's oxygen dropped. In for a c section. I felt so rushed. Hoping this experience is better and that being more informed is helpful
2 weeks till induction with my twins 😭. The doctor says they will break my waters at 2 cm and give me pitocin. It sounds terrible and horrifying 😢
If that’s not what you want you don’t have to do it!
Advocate for what YOU want! It is your body and you are not a passive participant in your birth. It is your doctor’s job to include you in your care plan, not simply steal your autonomy and tell you what will be done
It was horrible.... in my experience.
I wish I wouldn’t have let my doctor break my water with my second baby. I showed up the hospital 9cm and it was a “busy day” and I was the furthest along. While still a 9 he broke my water and immediately had me start pushing. My son was born within 30 min but it was unbelievably painful. I expressed hesitation with breaking it but they almost pressured me into it. Never felt the urge to bear down and instead it felt like I was forcing my baby out.
Do you feel you had a considerable amount of trauma to your pelvic floor, compared to your first delivery?
I feel that the delivery itself was extremely more painful compared to my first as well
I wish I would have just allowed the transition stage to run its course without intervention even if that meant I was in labor for a much longer time.
En caul births are cool. We shouldn’t need to artificially break the amniotic sac. Babies know of the perfect time to be born. They’ll come out exactly how they want to come out. You can give birth vaginally to a baby still in the amniotic sac. People tend to be too nervous about these “due dates” doctors give. Babies can be born past 40 weeks and be completely fine!
Why hasn’t she talked about a scheduled cesarean?????
