I know they usually do it at the hospital and why they do it. Im overdue I was just asking if that was a possiblity. Or if anyone has heard of that.

it is not possible for your doctor to break your water at his office it has to be done in a hospital for safety reasons

No. They usually do it at the hospital. And the only reason to break the water is so that they will go into labor. Breaking the water too much before the due date could lead to an infection. Our body blocks off the cervix during pregnancy to keep bacteria out. Do not try to break it yourself!!!!!

NO, theyusually do it in the hospital if you are dilating with no contractions. They usually wait to do it because doing it too early without being in labor can lead to infection for the baby. (Mom of three natural births)

That sounds very dangerous and unadvisable...I hope that no one has, but I suspect that it's happened!
