Elective Induction

So I’m getting induced at 40 weeks 3 days next week if baby isn’t here by now. I definitely don’t need to be but I cannot walk, cannot stand or anything without feeling like I’m going to faint. My dr recommends I wait till I’m 41 weeks but I picked my day for other reasons. I’m doing everything possible to induce labor naturally but I don’t think there’s anything proven to actually work.

I’m getting harassed by family saying to tough it out and all that which I should but I physically cannot do it anymore. I have a toddler to take care of, no family to help, my sons father isn’t around to help me with my son and the baby in my belly. It’s just me.

So, has anyone elected an induction not due to medical reasons? Maybe I’m being selfish. Please don’t tell me not to cause I’ve been hearing that enough.
