Is it too early

B_T
I will be 37 weeks on Wed but I am beyond ready to have this baby. Do you think if I try to start labor now it's too early? Someone please help me!

I'm right there with you girl! 37 weeks today and I am miserable. However, there is crutial development still happening for baby in these last few weeks such as breathing and head development. Try to keep in mind this is for baby and not for you. So for now put your feet up and no rough sex till at least 39 weeks. These last few weeks will go quicker than you think. At least for my sake I hope it will. Lol! Good luck!

I had my first son at 37 weeks exactly and he was a perfectly healthy 6lbs 6oz!

Even if it were possible to start labour at will, 36w is still premature and the baby could have breathing problems.  Try and make the most of these last few weeks to get some rest, before the crazy begins.
