Have lots & lots of sex-progeterone is a wonderful thing! And when you're not having sex, walk walk walk walk walk!!!!

First do not have sex, you are not suppose to have sex if your water has broken. It can cause an infection dangerous for you and the baby. Secondly I know it is a little late but you really need a different doctor. I was told if my water breaks go straight to the hospital. You need to call the doctor and tell him you want to be induced imediately because of the risk of infection. He really should have done that friday if your water broke thursday.

Your water broke?????? What is your doc thinking?? My water was broke for only 18 hours and my son was born with a serious blood infection because of it. It has been way too long your baby is in extreme danger. GO straight to labor and delivery and demand another doctor Now!!! Good luck with everything!

I can't believe that you were sent home after your water broke. Most places will not let you leave because of the risk of infection to the baby. That baby should have been born within 12-24 hours of your water breaking. I'd go back in and tell them you're not leaving. They can give you pitocin to help induce contractions. It's not safe for your baby to have your water broke that long though

I am also surprised that you were sent home after your water broke I also thought that you lost your mucus plug bfore water broke. Another thing do not have sex this could lead to infection since your water has broke

Ive never heard of a doctor sending you home after your water breaks...my water broke and my doc made me stay in the hospital even though I wasnt in labor. I thought it was dangerous but I guess if you trust your doctor then have sex, eat pineapple, spicey food, walking.

If your water broke and you are full term you should be delivered immediately. What is your doctor waiting for? Once the membrane is ruptured infection causing bacteria can travel through the vagina and reach the fetus. You should be induced!

Have you spoken to your doctor again? they can use artificial oxytocins (as found in semen). I wouldn't advise natural with your water so long broken....maybe I'm old fashioned but why haven't they done anything yet?
Labour is initiated by the baby not the mother, all you can do is weather it or get medical intervention.
