Being induced

I just have a question, can you ask to be induced early?

You should really do you best to give baby all 40 weeks, because each week has important bench marks of development. These bench marks help prepare baby for the outside. Every week early that you deliver baby has deprived baby of important survival skills. A baby who is delivered early may also be more fussy, have a harder time latching on to the breast and eating, and struggle with breathing. Induction should only be considered in medical emergencies where you or baby are in danger.

you can certainly ask but most drs will not induce unless your overdue or there is a medical reason to do so.. ive asked a couple times with my 2nd and because i wasnt at my due date yet she wouldnt even set a date :(
