Hello dear,
I understand your concern.
In my opinion induction can be planned at term pregnancy if there are no complications.
At or after 37 weeks to 41 weeks is considered as term.
Less than 37 weeks is preterm and more than 41 is post term.
So if there are no complications and the fetal movements are good,with good liquor etc then you can wait upto 41 weeks for spontaneous onset of labour pains.
If there are any complications and normal vaginal delivery is possible then induction can be planned after 37 weeks.
But natural labour pains are always preferable.
Walking or practising antenatal yoga daily aids in normal vaginal delivery.
Hope this helps.
Best regards...Dr.Srilatha
