I agree. Just ask. If doc is going to induce in a week anyway I don't think it will be a big deal.

Yeah, I would just mention since your going to be induced anyway, you'd like to try and get things going naturally to try to avoid the induction. I'm in the same boat you are. I will be induced in my 39th week if I haven't gone into labor before then. I just asked Dr. yesteday (I'm 37 weeks tomorrow) if he would consider stripping my membranes to try to avoid the induction. He told me he'd even do it that day if I was dialated enough. However, I was only at 1cm so he said it would HURT if he tried to do it....So, hopefully next week I'll be more dialated and he'll do it then. Good luck and let me know if it works for you!!

What's the rush? Your body is preparing itself - give it time! My membranes were stripped without my consent at 37 weeks - leading to an infection in my placenta (I was GBS+) - and ultimately an emergency c-section in an otherwise normal healthy pregnancy. Unless there is some medical reason for induction, keep in mind that every intervention you accept increases your chances for major surgery. Trust your body... give it time and try to enjoy the moment!

I would call your doc. If you think your water broke they usually want you to deliver within 24 hours so that you don't get an infection. If you have a small leak they may want to monitor you. Keep us posted.
