I think it just depends. I don't think it b would hurt to start at 37 or 37 1/weeks could take a week or so to work sine ppl day they swear by it and it did push them into labor.

I think I'll wait another week or two. I have gd this Is my third baby so I'm prone to going early ...but even with my baby measuring three weeks ahead and healthy I don't want to go too early. if I don't go by week 38 I'll be induced and I don't want that but I just thought epo wouldn't work that fast and if it did wouldn't start labor.
