I agree with the others that you should speak to your dr and say you're not ready. Obviously if there is a genuine reason then it goes ahead but if its purely an arbitrary date then you have options.
I had an induction with DD1 due to increased blood pressure at 40+4. She was so far from ready - no dilation, no prelabour. It was long, but that's because we did things at my pace - very slow! - but we got there on our own eventually without instruments. As Sloane said, I had wireless monitoring so I could still move around, go in the shower etc. An induction doesn't have to mean you are flat on your back strapped to a bed.
Huge hugs to you. Its never nice to feel you've lost control over your own fate but you definitely have ways of taking that control back, whichever way your LO's birth goes from here
