I have see a few people asking how to bring on labour and they still have a couple of weeks to go, can you start bringing on labour that early? Or do you wait till your overdue?

I think unless you're using drugs, labour will come in when it wants to and not before. Moving around and being active will help speed labour but onky once its started.
I'm sure somebody will correct me if I'm totally wrong, but that was my experience and those of the people I've talked to

Well your considered full term at 37 week. I wouldn’t try anything till nearer 40 weeks personally. And ime babies tend to come when they’re good and ready.

Well you can try but if there was a medical need, hospital would help and if there isn't then you shouldn't imo. Thry aren't in labour because their bodies / baby aren't ready yet.

However someone will argue its their baby and if they want to induce Labour at 30 weeks then that's totally fine

Nothing will start labour unless your body is ready. I tried it all and ended up on a drip being induced (and it still took bloody hours for contractions to even start then...my body did not want to cooperate). And I was overdue!
