Is it possible to break your own bag of waters at home to start labor?

NO, absolutely not. The bag of waters is there to protect the baby from infection and to even out the pressure round the baby when the contractions start. Breaking the waters does not always mean you go into labor and if it is done in the maternity ubit you can be given drugs to staret the contractions. If your waters have been broken for too long before the baby is born you are both at risk of infection and may have to be given antibiotics as a prevcautuin.

What kind of danger is your baby in if you don't go into labor and your water breaks?
Once the protective bag around the baby is broken, as happens when your waters break, there is a danger that infection can travel up to the baby. This is particularly the case if you have any sort of vaginal infection. This is why many doctors will induce labor if it does not start within several hours of the waters breaking. The actual time it is safe to wait is a subject of debate. Once the waters have broken there is nothing to protect the baby and anything at all even doing nothing can cause labour to start, even if you are pre term.

If a pregnant woman is 3cm and loses her mucus plug how long after will labor start?
that totally depends from person to person. Every birth and every pregnancy is different. Generally speaking though, if your waters break, your labour is a lot quicker but that is no guarantee either. I was 2 cm dilated for a month before my son was born and when my water did eventually break it took 5 hours from the time my water broke until he has born. I was in active (pain) labour for about 3 of those hours. With my first son I was in labour for 18 hours but the hospital had to break my waters. Good luck with everything.
