Health regulations say you can't be induced before 39 weeks unless medically necessary.

Every hospital is different. With my first, they didn't want me to hit my due date but yet I wasn't induced until 10 days after my due date.

No they won't induce you at 37 weeks, you are just barely full term. I understand it can be very uncomfortable to the end but you only have a few weeks left. Give your baby the best possible start by waiting until he/she is ready

The earliest they will even consider induction here without a medical problem is 39 weeks.

Healthy pregnancies don't call for inductions, doc may do a sweep if you ask but really that's not even necessary right now. Since you're just 37 weeks I would just let nature take its course. We're all miserable but we're supposed to go to 40 weeks for a reason.
