You're technically not full term until 37 weeks, and even then there's still a chance your baby could have health issues. You don't have much longer. Just let nature run its course so you don't create any problems for you or your baby.

My uncle was 11lbs 16 oz and my grandma did just fine from the stories I hear. You will be okay the hospital or midwife will make sure of that.

A lot of women use evening primrose oil capsules vaginally to help thin the cervix,you can definitely give it a try! Just saying don't be overly disappointed, or think you're doing something wrong if it doesn't happen right away.

Self inducing won't work unless your body is ready, so you can try once you hit 37-38 weeks but it may not work. Many ftms don't end up delivering until 41-42 weeks

Unsure why people are nervous about the possibility of having a 9lb baby.  My first was 9lb 10oz and I pushed her out fine with no issues or tears.  Your body knows what to do
