the earliest you can get induced thats safe?

I'm going to be 27 weeks on Wednesday and I was just curious on how early you can be induced when the time comes? Lol I'm just impatient and want to meet him already, but i want to make sure he's ready to come out though :)

My doctor told me if there's no  life threatening problem or complications by law you have to be 39 weeks and at least 2 cm to 3 cm dialated or they can't do it

If you're high risk 37 weeks if its normal then 39 weeks but some doctors won't do it.

I am getting induced tomorrow, 37 weeks. And my doctor told me I was lucky to make it this far. My blood pressure was so high for multiple weeks. He was gonna induce last week but I had no protein in my urine so he wanted to wait until Tuesday.

27 wks is a little early lol... but I was told that I would be induced soon if my dilation measurement doesn't change. I'm 39w1d. I'm ready to meet my baby, also. ^_^

Most doctors will not induce unless its medically necessary before 39weeks. I'm going through a lot with my husband possibly not going to be at the birth of our son and last child due to his job and even though I've asked and given permission to induce before that BUT my doctor won't even play with the idea cuz its before 39 weeks and even then he won't unless it become necessary.

I know mommas who were induced at 38 weeks and still had babe in the NICU. I'd just wait for it to happen naturally.. My boys were 34 3/4 weeks when they were born in the hospital for a month...
