Hi, we posted at the same time.
I just wanted to let you know that I woudl strongly advise you against getting induced just for convenience. Inductions are not without risk. There are a few articles here on BB that you might like to read before going down that road, so that this decision is an informed one, too :-)
The World Health Organisation says: "Birth should not be induced for convenience, and the induction of labour should be reserved for specific medical indications. No geographic region should have rates of induced labour over 10%."

And I really do hope that you will carry to term and have a healthy bub. But it might be worth thinking about whether she can wait another 5 weeks to make a final decision about her bridesmaids.
And you are very right, you dont have to be a bridesmaid to be able to help.
