almost there!!

I'm 37 weeks and 6 days, but I've been in the hospital 4 times already because of contractions, cramping, and baby not moving much. Is there a possibility that I could be induced at my 38 week check up? I don't really want to be induced but I've had way to many complications already.

The earliest your dr can induce you is 39 weeks unless there are complications such as high blood pressure.
Full term isn't considered until 39 weeks.
My dr said I could get induced at 39 weeks, but luckily my daughter made her appearance at 38+3.
