Gabi, I guess what it comes down to is not "what can I do if I need to be induced", but rather "do I really need to be induced". As you will find from reading people's experiences, mostly people did not need to be induced. They were told they needed to be, but if the doctors had taken the effort to monitor the baby instead to see if there was indeed any problem with it staying there longer, than most inductions could have been avoided. I would inform yourself about the overuse of inductions, note that "term" is 38 - 42 weeks - there is no magic mark at 40 weeks. And if you feel pressured to be induced, ask for monitoring instead and take it from there. GL.
