Babies are not technicaly "term" until 37 weeks. Anytime you go into labor naturally after 37 weeks, you are likely to have a healthy baby that can breath on his/her own. Before 37 weeks, the chances of breathing difficulties and other issues increase. Induction is a dangerous slippery slope. Induction, and other intervetions, are why the US has not improved maternal and fetal death numbers since 1982 (yikes) and for a developed country, that is pretty bad.
