Induced labor

I’m 36.2 weeks and I’m tired. It’s getting hard to sleep and walk. My hips hurt alot. I am told the baby is head down. So that’s good.

I have GD and was recently hospitalized for high blood pressure (which was due to stress). And I was just wondering can i asked to be induced? Or is that only if it’s medically necessary? I’m trying to avoid a c section at all cost.

I have a doctors appointment next week at 37 weeks. I just don’t want to sound like I’m rushing 😅.
