My dr will induce at 39 wks unless its an emergancy then he will before .. because technically baby is considered full term at 39 its good to try to hold baby in til atleast 40wks but i was induced at 39 wks but according to tests he was really only 38  but stll heathy as could be .. my dr brought it up to me about being induced though

I would wait until at least 40. Inducing increases the chance of a c-section. If there is no reason to be induced just wait. Try natural methods first, like waking, sex, raspberry leaf tea. There are more on Google. I tried most, except castor oil. I didn't want diarrhea while in labor
