So I’ll be 38 weeks Monday I am going to try pumping to start my labor am I wrong for trying to go…

I had my baby at 38 weeks, my water broke. I didn't try to induce myself but we did have a lot of sex but my point is my daughter was perfectly healthy! She's 5 now and never had any issues 😊👍🏼

You will get different answers on this post but 37 weeks is full term and yesterday my midwife told me I could start trying things to induce. Honestly, no matter what you try (besides castor oil - I think is completely dangerous) baby will come whenever baby comes. I think it’s funny we all try different things (including myself and countless research) but when it comes down to it I don’t think it’s really us getting baby to come, ya know?

I wondered this too but i was talked out of it because I was told it can start painful contractions but u may still not dilate....that was enough for me

I was induced the day I turned 37 weeks due to being high risk and my baby boy came out perfectly healthy

Babies need 40 weeks if at all possible. I would wait.

Thanks ladies I think my doctor really doesn’t want to induce me but my blood pressure has been so crazy

@briatta well that's a different story.

@briatta, I was induced at 39+1 with my first because of consist high blood pressure (hospitalized the week before that also due to blood pressure and fluid levels).

If you can safely get things moving and get baby to put you into labor on your own I’d go for it. Just make sure you do some research on what’s the safest way to go about this!

@mvbreaux, I’m nervous now so many different answers lol

Induced at 37 & 38 weeks - No issues . medical reasons of course.
