Normal for induction talk at 38 weeks?

Just got out of my dr appt and my ob said next week we will be talking about inducing me but I don’t have any reason to. I’ll be 38 weeks then, is this just normal for a doctor to talk to you about this early? She said I didn’t have to get an induction if I didn’t want to but I just didn’t expect to be talking about it until after I was due
