Do not try to induce labor "naturally": I'm 38 weeks pregnant and never have I felt more uncomfortable, unbalanced, and in constant pain as I do now. I really want my baby here already because I want to meet him but also because I cannot wait to stop being pregnant. But as moms it is our duty to make sacrifices for our little ones, and your first sacrifice is to put yourself through the hassle of being pregnant for as long as your baby desires. Remember the longer the baby is in the womb, the longer his lungs and brain have to fully develop and mature. It is your duty as a mother to suck it up and be pregnant if at the end it benefits your child. No reason whatsoever is good enough to try to induce labor (unless of course there's a medical reason and your baby's health is at risk).

@cp, that is true. However, the next weeks after that the baby continues to mature his lungs and brain, he is still getting antibodies from you to protect against illness, they can suck and swallow better due to having advanced muscle development, the last few weeks allows them to get some extra fat that prepares them for the first days of life and helps regulate their own temperature, among many other reasons. I've done plenty of research in the topic since I at one point wanted to do all the things they recommend for inducing labor naturally.
