Induction questions

I'm a FTM and wondering if they induce you at 40 weeks if you ask? What's the normal procedure? I've been in "early labor" since 36 weeks and really can't handle another 2 wks of this. I only have a few more days till I'm 40 wks but I don't think she's going to come. Also if anyone has experienced being induced Id love to hear your stories. Both my sister and my mom were induced with there children and had very different situations. TIA.
