So just do them vaginally. because it hits the cervix faster than when you take it by mouth.

So you should be good to start at 35 weeks.

It doesn't induce it. Most midwives will tell you to start taking it orally starting around 37 weeks. They wouldn't recommend it that far out if it were an induction method.
It is recommended you begin to insert one or two twice a day into your vagina bringing at week 40. Like I saif, it helps to soften your cervix. It does not induce labor in any way.
