Elective induction for 39 weeks

Randi
I am going to talk to my doctor tomorrow about possibly doing elective induction. My due date is not until July 27th. I'm a teacher and have to go back to work ASAP or I will begin to get doct pay which really isn't an option for our family. I would like to be induced a little earlier that way I can have as much time with my son as possible before returning. Has anyone had any luck with elective induction?
