Joels girl just though that I would throw in for you that most accupuncturists won't induce you at 36 weeks. However they also won't ask for proof of when you are due. Just your DD.

Goodluck hun, be informed and decide what yyou feel is best for both you and your baby.

I do agree with Sherie though, what your OB is suggesting for your first labour is pretty much setting you up for failure.
