Kela
I am 35 weeks but my son head is measuring 37 , he also weight 6 lb 11 oz and my dr wants to possibly induce a week before my due date . I have heard it's not good to
Induce then I've heard it's fine , I just was wondering what are some of your experience with being induced? 
Also my dr checked my cervix and it is thinning out so does that mean he could come earlier before they induce ?
