Hi Loupy
‘Put up’ does mean an IV and not put up your girly bits.
Your waters cannot be broken if your cervix is not open.
To break your waters they use a plastic stick with a small hook on the end of it. Something like a crochet hook. Your waters should not be broken if your baby is high or not engaged as this can cause the cord to be washed out in front of the baby. This would be an emergency and an urgent CS would be required. Contractions often but not always start shortly after the waters have been broken. Having synto and an arm will cause your contractions to be a lot more intense than if labour started naturally. As others have said you can refuse to have any or all of these procedures. Perhaps an option would be to wait a couple more days and try some natural remedies to bring on labour.
