i am currently 37wks and 4d pregnant with my 6 1/2 pound baby gurl. i am so uncomfortable right now and just ready to have her. my ob said he thinks my body is too small to pass a 71/2 pound baby so he wants to induce me a week before my due date. Me and my significant other were both vert small babies weighing in at about 6.9 except he was a one day overdue and i was 2 weeks early. im scared but yet anxious to see my little miracle.my question is though will it be safe for my daughter to come to the world so soon? or should i wait?

Apparently lots of chilli helps to speed up labour, my friend had loads of chilli and the next day she was in labour. What also brings labour on are hot baths, or hot showers. They say the full moon has a lot to do with it too...

PLEASE DO NOT USE CASTOR OIL. Babies have died from this and it is not recommended to bring on labor. It can cause hard contractions and the baby to have a bowel movement in utero, which is very dangereous. My doctor just told me about a patient of his that did this and lost her baby.
