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.

Can Castor oil induce labor when your 38 weeks pregnant?

Congratulations on your pregnancy. Don't use castor oil to try and induce labor as the side effects are not worth it, plus there isn't any actual proof that is will work. If you are looking for safe and effective, painless way to induce labor at home then maternity acupressure may be for you. Check out this website, http://yourmaternityresource.com/category/maternityacupreesure/ I bought the book, only $29 and it worked great, well worth the cost of the book. I was 41 weeks along, the best part it actually helped reduce the pain of labor and it was well worth the cost of the book to finally meet my beautiful baby boy. I would suggest that you check with your OB/GYN before trying to induce labor at only 39 weeks though.
