How do you break a balloon? You have to puncture it.

Believe me, the less you know it will be better for delivery. The doctors will know what to do.

Answer 8

i just want points for answering

Answer 9

Usually with a hook-like instrument, but they can also use other instruments depending on the circumstance.

When I gave birth to my son, I had already pushed his head almost out (you could actually see it at my opening) and my water still had not broken!

My doctor used a smaller, scalpel-like instrument and punctured the amniotic sac, causing it to break. I didn't feel it, but water sprayed everywhere! =/

      Description and Official Rationale

Amniotomy is frequently performed on women who labor in hospitals for the purpose of speeding up their labors, or for insertion of the internal electronic fetal monitor; occasionally it is performed so that the physician can take fetal blood samples, and/or ascertain whether or not there is evidence of meconium staining (fetal bowel movement), which under the technocratic model is considered to be indicative of fetal distress. The procedure is simple: a hospital attendant inserts an instrument like a crochet hook through the cervix, and snags and breaks the amniotic sac.  

Answer 11

They stick a little hook that is really thin into your cervix and break the bag.

Answer 12

Doctors use an amniohook which is like a tiny crocheting hook to  snag the amniotic sac through the cervix. The amniotic sac has no feeling therefore it is not painful.

Answer 13

through it agianst the wall.

Answer 14

they just use a hook that kind of looks like a crochet hook.  They put it through the opening in your cervix. It dosen't hurt and more than when they check to see how dilated you are

Answer 15

They use a tool similar to the "hook" one uses to pull hair through a highlighting cap.

Answer 16

with a long instrument that has a hook on the end, they stick it up there, process takes 2 seconds and then you feel like you are peeing on yourself lol....please don't try this at home...

Answer 17

I don't think they actually break the sac, just scratch it and try and get it to break on it's own..is that what you mean?
