Hope im not speaking out of place, if our going to go with the docs view and get induced than you will be fine, keep positive and try to keep mobile if you can. BUT i was keen to avoid induction, i agreed to go in every other day (and it was a 40 minute drive) to get scans and check the baby was ok, if all was good with bubba i was going to go to 42 weeks then see. i had a s and s on 41+6 and was seeing the doc the next day to talk induction. i went into labour at 1am that night. if you are fine, and baby is being closely monitored and is ok then the cant force you to do anything. maybe have a chat to a midwife when you next go in, the doc says what the doc HAS to say to cover his arse....the midwife helped me by giving me her honest opinion about WHY the doc was saying what he was.
Whichever you choose, feel empowered!!!! Your doing and amazing thing and you will be awesome!
You can change your mind it's not like they can force you to be induced. If its just post dates ask for more monitoring instead until you go into labour. I was 42 weeks when I went into labour with DS (well actually i'd been in labour for 3 days before having him). If I was you I'd not get induced that soon especially if it's causing you so much anxiety. Have a think about it some more and maybe put off being induced a bit longer to give yourself time to labour naturally.
