Why is she talking about inducing at a 37 week check up? You have the right to tell her how long you want to wait, unless there is medical reasons you need it, wether for safety reasons for you or baby. But if there are no medical reasons, politely tell her you would like to give your baby more time, she she should respect it, it's not like your are past your sue date.

Spicy food helps induce labor naturally so does sex if your Dr says it's safe. Spicy food should help though if you can stomach it

This baby will be my 4th pregnancy, and baby #3 at home.. will be getting on my old birth control paragard and in about 6 yrs from now maybe baby #4 can be a girl :)....see you ladies Monday!!!!!

With my first I naturally got my labor going, drinking pure cold press organic pineapple juice and eating the fruit dates and walked on an incline on my treadmill for half an hour within a few hours my water broke and I went into labor. Everyone is different but it can help.

Why does your OB want to induce so soon? As others have said, you have the right to say you want to wait.
I have heard that sex helps get labor going when baby is ready.

Is there a health concern that they want to induce you this early? You still have a few weeks left.
On another note, eat spicy food and have sex! :) That might help!

My OB was very pushy too for inducing , but she started asking at 39 weeks. I told her I would wait till 40 weeks to decide, but kept on asking me about. Then at the 40 week check up she's like you have to get induced, I said why? Is there a medical reason or just because I am 40 weeks. She's like baby is fine, I just don't think you want to carry the baby inside you anymore. I said imma wait another week.

Then she said she wanted to see me at 40 wks and 3 days, ao I went, again, super pushy for inducing, I reminded her I said I was gonna give my baby another week. So she said ok. So she made an appointment for 40 wks and 6 days, and I show up pregnant still, she's like you still haven't gone to hospital?? You need to go. I said tomorrow will be the full week. I will get induced tomorrow night if she does not come.

I went home and continued my day as usual, that night my contractions began and did not stop till I went to labor and had baby exactly at 41 weeks!

Girl.... Sit in the bath the water soothes you and helps you dilate  that's why they tell us don't sit kn the tub while pregnant tgry encourage showers and that's what I did with my son  and plan on it again with my daughter

And it works .. what do I do just sit there??
Well I fell asleep in there and kept redoing the water lol just sit in there be relaxed with a nice temp not too hot until you get bored I guess do it as many times a day you get a chance with this hot weather
Most natural safe thing I can think of evrrything else involves oils and stuff that is weird

Well she wants to induced me but. I don't want. My mom told me to go up and down the stairs. So I'm going to try that out.. I just see alot of moms using the oil stuff. And that's not for me. That's ladies

You don't have to be induced. No point in even talking about inducing til you're at your due date or passed it.

Your baby will decide when it's ready to come not anything you do.
