Generally, labor is not induced at 36 weeks, as the baby is still considered preterm An infant needs the additional time in the womb for lungs to be mature enough to breathe on the outside. Don't rush things. The baby will come when it is time. Good luck.

A normal pregnancy lasts 38-40 weeks. Starting at 37 weeks is not too much to worry about - lots and lots of babies come early.

The doctor gives you medication to soften the cervix and a drop to start contractions. Starting labor, and especially before you are due at 37 weeks, is something only doctors do.

Labor starts when contractions efface and dialate the cervix. It can also begin if/when the amniotic sac breaks

At how many weeks is it safe to drink caster oil to induce labor?

Im not sure but when I had my daughter I took caster oil on my due date and ate spciy food and drank a glass of red wine and walked a lot and went into labor that night. I did everything others had told me to do to induce labor instead of just one of them. I would wait till 38 wks for sure to start trying.


How will you know when im in labor?

There are many signs to help you know if you are in labor. First of all, the baby for 9 months in in an amniotic fluid (aka water sac) and when you reach 40 weeks, your water will break which means water may start to run down your leg, or into your underwear. This means you are in labor


Im 35 weeks pregnant ive been 2cm dialated for almost 2 weeks and you want to induce your labor is it a good idea to induce your labor by having sex or how should you induce your labor?

sex and walking is good try squats and stairs but i would wait till you are at least 38 weeks, just so make sure your babys lungs are fully developed p.s. i have herd male sperm helps soften the cervics

You are still a couple weeks off of wanting to have ur baby.
