They're inducing her at 36-37 weeks cuz of blood clots

Remember that your due date is an estimation. And also the weights are an estimation. My daughter was estimated to be 8 pounds and was born 6 and 2 oz some drs are just too quick to induce labor because they do not want liabilities.

Plus you're not technically "full term" until you get to 37 weeks so for the baby's safety and health they also probably wouldn't do it.

Probably not, I've been measuring 5-10cm ahead of where I should be since I was 16 weeks and they're not inducting me at all... I'm currently 38 weeks measuring at 48 cm...
