is this awful? :/

I am exactly 37 weeks today. I don't mean to complain or anything but I'm miserable to say the least. My ankles are so swollen and propping them up does nothing. I could barely get my shoes on this morning. I am having contractions, braxton hicks I'm sure, and my hands are swollen as well to the point that I can hardly grasp anything and they go numb. With this being my first pregnancy I fear he will be over due and I just don't think I could stand that. Is it horrible to talk to my doctor about options for him to induce?
