Q: Cervidil (sp?)

So I decided last night when I could sleep (kid didnt want to cooperate) that doctors should just give women cervadil at like 38 weeks. Cuz even if it doesnt bring on labor it softens your cervix and helps speed that process up and u could totally go home and do it yourself. I bet a lot of women would go past their due dates. And another thing, who decided babies need to cook til 40 weeks? If they are considered term at 37 weeks why cant we just call 38 weeks late and induce then? The average birth weight would be lower and women wouldnt have to push out 10 lb babies! Sorry I no im no doctor but im fat and pregnant and over it!
