37 week babies!??? How??

Question

Those who have had babies at 37 weeks, I keep seeing all these birth announcements and curious where in the world you are from??? 
I've actually never known anyone in my family or friends go into labour that early. So I'm curious...are you naturally going into labour or being induced or having membrane sweeps to start you off??? In the UK the midwives and Dr's wouldn't touch you until you're over due, we don't have cervix checks either unless in labour.

Answer

I'm in the US and my doctor won't induce until you're 39 weeks unless it's an emergency!

Answer

Answer

Answer

I had my first at 37 weeks naturally, I just went into labor at that time. Wasn't even "trying to naturally induce"....just happened...my other two one was on his due date, and my youngest was induced at 38 weeks due to my history of fast labors, they wanted to make sure I was somewhere safe not at home alone when I went into labor, this baby will be the same, induced at 38 weeks if he doesn't come earlier
