questions about labor

i will be 37 weeks saturday and my doctor doesnt think ill make it full term.. do u think i should start doing things that will put me into labor?? or just wait it out??

Just wait. Baby will come when baby is ready. Nothing will "put you into labor" anyway.

Wait it out. You doctor may think you won't go to full term but there's no way of knowing.

Definitely wait. The more time the baby has to bake, the better.

i heard once that all babies come exactly when they are ready (assuming they come on their own & not scheduled) like they were meant to be born on that specific day and thats why they came! all of mine were scheduled though which kinda sucks because that night before u just go insane like omg omg omg im having a baby TOMORROW...

How do you explain preterm births then?

What about premature babies, especially ones who don't make it?

28 pounds isn't bad at all. I gained 37 altogether. The weight estimates can be off by a pound or two either way, so I'd say you're fine.
