I have pretty bad asthma, and it gets worse when I'm pregnant. They won't induce you because of a attack, they will try to give you treatments to keep it under control. Try to keep as cool as you can. I know it's hard to do and to keep it u details control at this point. The end is near! Keep that in mind!
  My last pregnacy I was induced on due date only because I was on prednisone a few times and had gestational  diabetes. They were worried about him getting to big. I ended up having a c section. This pregnacy asthma has been okay
No Steroids needed. I'm just trying to keep cool and calm in this heat.

That depends on just how bad your breathing problems are, and how far along you are. Either way you can always refuse it, they can't force you. They may just put you on oxygen and monitor you and the baby for a while because there can issues for your baby if he/she isn't getting enough oxygen.  If it's that bad it may be better to go in and at least be looked at and have the baby monitored to make sure the lack of oxygen isn't causing stress for baby.
