Actually you are passing very important antibodies to your baby in these last weeks that are going to help protect it after its born. And thats not nessacarily true. Your baby could have breathing problems from being born this early. It is just way to early to consider having your baby.  I know its tough but your almost there! Plus none of those inducing yourself works anyway! Hang in there

37 is considered term but actually still early term the 1st 2 weeks of pregnancy ur not actually preggo thats the time frame it takes most women to ovulate and dates can be off by a couple weeks so u actually be having a kid earlier than anyone thinks. This irks me so bad wait for the kid till term or else dont have kids. Because ur baby has a good kick count means theyre ready to be forced out? The last things to fully develop are lungs brain n liver FACT. Thank god licensed doctors are the only ones that can do inductions or csections and any home induction attempt hopefully wont work for women that are ohhh my back hurts n I cant sleep. How do u think a newborn feels struggling for life. Lots of women would and do anything to try to get to term cuz of complications those are true heros and the definition of a mother putting child first. Medical science is a wonderful thing and lots of ladies get lucky but why risk it? The end im done sorry I cant stand seeing this kinda thing u wanna rant n connect with others about how miserable u are dont say how do I force preterm labor.

Relax people, she just asked a question. I'm 36 weeks and miserable. This is my 3rd kid and if I went in to labor today I'd be thrilled. I'm so exhausted and crabby. I had my daughter at 35 weeks 11 years ago and she is happy and healthy. She was jaundiced but she didn't have any major complications except a low birth weight but at 5 pounds 9 ounces I hardly think she was too small. Just because someone is anxious to not be pregnant anymore doesn't mean they're selfish.
