Depends on the doctor and the hospitals policy. Our hospitals policy is they won't induce before 39 weeks unless it is medically necessary.  But if you are at 39 weeks then you can for no medical reason.  No harm in asking.

If your bishop isn't 8 or higher then they won't. If it is then yes you can its called elective induction. Google it.

U can ask but most won't do it unless it's medically necessary. I was induced with my first baby and it went great. I had my second baby naturally and was a lot more painful to me but I had them both without an epidural.
