They will not induce your labor unless your water breaks or you have a serious health condition anytime before 38 weeks. Usually for a normal pregnancy they will wait until 41 or 42 weeks. If you go any later than that, personally I think you should demand to be induced because you baby is being put at risk staying in there that long. The plancenta begins to deteriorate and the oxygen supply is cut down.
== == They induce labor when you are past your due date, usually 10 days to 2 weeks after you are due. Talk with your health care provider about what you and your health care provider feel is best.
Natural inducing won't work all the time unless you are somewhat effaced and dilated partially, but it's always safe to wait until you have reached atleast 38 weeks to try anything, as it can harm your unborn child, although full term is considered 37 weeks by most obgyn's, sometimes due dates can give or take 2 weeks that's why they are called estimated due dates.
Depends on how big the baby is but they usually don't go more than 2 weeks over time.
Yes the docotors can induce labor.
People can induce labor of a breech baby by eating spicy foods, having sex, and riding in a car on a bumpy road. It is best, however, to allow the baby to come out in their own time.

Don't try to induce before your due date. Your baby's ability to breathe may not be fully developed, and you may risk harming your baby. Wait it out a couple more weeks.
No, but it is likely they will induce labor early. One of the side effects of gestational diabetes is increased weight of the baby. They sometimes induce the labor when the baby reaches a certain weight to avoid some delivery complications.

The doctor knows best. It isn't scary, they just give you a shot and you go into labor. It's safe and doesn't affect the baby.
They usually do that, yes. That is so they don't have to do a c-section because the mom can't push the baby out.
It is believed to help induce women after their due date. I tried it a few times and it did not work. But, that does not mean it wouldn't work for someone else. If your body and baby are not ready for labor, it probably wont do anything.
Once labor has been induced, the unborn baby is monitored to guard against a reduction in its oxygen supply, or hypoxia. The drugs used to induce labor cause vasoconstriction, which can.
At 40 weeks it's not called a miscarriage but stillborn. You will have to give birth as if the baby was alive. They will induce the labor.
