i asked this exact same question on another forum and was pretty much told off for asking! I got induced with my first because she had growth issues, so i wanted to know if i could do it again and everyone went right into all the things that could go wrong with induction. (like i didnt know the side effects but there is a risk to every delivery) I have extreme SPD pain and with my DFs job, (He works for the government with their quantantine, so he has alot of rules to follow and so on, plus he cant take time off to hang around at home waiting, due to other reasons) it is highly likely that i could end up giving birth at home as he wont be able to get back to me fast enough,. (my last labour was under 4 hours) I asked my midwife if i could get induced again at 39+ weeks to make sure that i wasnt alone and she said that unless medically needed they dont like to do BUT if i reminded her again closer to my due date (im 36 weeks now) she would see if she could get me in to be induced so there is no harm in asking.
