That's why I said only if your cervix was favorable . I'd do it if I were overdue to prevent induction. But even induction if your cervix is not favorable leaves you at a higher chance of needing a c-section.

I had one done on a friday and went into labor the next day. I think it helped that i was already a tad over 3 cm dialated and 40% effaced though. so not sure if it helped or if i would have gone into labor anyway

I had mine done with my last pregnancy. I was at 39 weeks. I went into labor that same night. It was a little uncomfortable, but not painful The only problem was that he was so big and face down instead of face up. They ended up having to put hands inside me and turn him face up to deliver. That was very, very uncomfortable. I'm not sure if he would have turned over on his own if we had waited another week or so, but probably not.
