I felt like i did every other day, uncomfortable, tired, and over it, but i had no inkling that contractions would start until they did at 2am.

As for induction, i think they will do it after 40 weeks if that is what you want.

I went and had acupuncture at 40 weeks, i had 2 sessions and went into labour. the night after the second one. Not sure if it helped, but worth a shot!
