A member asked:
What goes on when inducing labor at 37wks and what are the potential issues that the baby or i may face if induced? no dilation and he's 7 lbs already
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: On reason for the induction. You still have 3 weeks to term and 7 pounds is not "too big" at 37 weeks. The need for induction is the key factor.
