Hi, thanks for writing..
Induction of labour can be done from 38 weeks.. Get a scan done to see the weight of the baby prior to delivery.. Baby wt less than 3.7kg can be safely induced provided your pelvis is normal. If weight greater than 4 kg, early induction by 36 weeks or C section would be preferred.. Hope I have answered your query.. Good day..
