I would not suggest trying to break your own waters. It can cause damage to you and anything introduced into the vagina, to help break the waters, could bring with it infection and cause again damage to you or the baby. Things you should know about laboring with your waters broken are: 1. Without the bag of waters, the baby will not have as much room to maneuver around, if your baby is in an OP (occiput posterior, baby facing out which can lead to a slower labor and Back pain) position it can make it difficult for the baby to turn towards the OA (occiput anterior, the optimal position for labor and delivery) position 2. The amniotic fluid acts as a cushion to the baby, including the umbilical cord. Without the cushion of the amniotic fluid, the baby's umbilical cord could be squeezed, cutting off oxygen to the baby and causing your baby to go into distress. There are other natural ways of inducing labor, but it is not a safe thing to do unless there is a medical indication that the mother or the baby needs to be delivered before labor starts naturally on its own.
