What is everyone's opinion on trying to jump start labor yourself at 37 weeks ? I've seen where some consider that full term , but other consider 40 weeks full term instead . If I was to want to try and kick labor into gear by 37 what are the risks if any , if there is none and it's perfectly okay , what are some things you've done that helped . Please don't be rude with comments . I was overweight before I got pregnant and now I'm beyond miserable from gaining another 35 lbs. Just want to know my options if I have any ..
Full term is consider 39 weeks, I know a lot of babies can be perfectly fine at 37 weeks but others need a lil more time, I was 41 weeks when I had my daughter and when I had her, her ear wasn't fully developed, her time was about right so it's not like doctors miscalculated how far I was by a lot, I know it's hard specially the last weeks but the longer the better
My doctor gave me the okay at 36 weeks. But she wasn't born until 38 weeks, I was induced.
I had a doctor who sweep my membranes or whatever. Anyways I went into labor at 37 weeks and my son was healthy 7lbs 11 Oz. Everyone case is different Tho

I just have to put this out there for some of these moms who bashes girls who are 37 weeks and trying to start there labor now if you can clearly read it saids that 37 weeks is considered full term 🙄
Is 37 weeks considered full term?🤔
Is 37 weeks considered full term pregnancy?
Why oh why do some woman try to induce labor at 37 weeks??? You're not even full term yet....ugh, just gets to me. 😕
What is considered full term ? 37 or 39 weeks I remember back in 2010 it was 37+ weeks
normally it isn't a good thing to do because your due date is an estimate. you may be trying to evict a baby too early because you want to hold them. their lungs still may not be fully developed. I would not self induce without a full proper discussion with your doctor.
