I am 40 +4 days and getting quite bad asthma what are the chances of an earlier induction?

Talk to your doctors. Induction can bring a risk of greater interventions being needed - and the possibly stronger and faster contractions might actually be an issue with asthma - depends on how it affects you.

I'm asthmatic and towards the end it was awful. I still wasn't allowed an earlier induction, so was induced at 40+9. This was back in May and honestly, during the labour I didnt give my asthma a second thought, your body's natural hormones and steroids take over. Good luck
