You have the right to be induced at 42 weeks for the safety of the baby. You have the right to discuss your concerns about your upcoming delivery and if unhappy, you have the right to switch doctors even at this late date - not necessarily what I would suggest but you do have the right. You also have a right to give him/her a piece of your mind about this but I worry that when I give away a piece of my mind, I may not get it back :-)

Hope this helps and write back anytime for more information.
