Talk to your midwife about your concerns - she knows how your pregnancy is going and can help you sort out your options. There are all sorts of reasons why inducing early can be a good or bad choice and it all depends on your specific situation.
I don't know what services are available where you live, but there are often social service agencies that have special programs for teen moms. For example, in my area we have "crisis nurseries" that provide emergency babysitting (including over night) for kids whose parents have to go into the hospital and don't have family to help (here is a listing of some in the US: https://people.wku.edu/darbi.haynes-lawrence/crisis_nursery.htm ). Having something like that lined up just in case, might help make you feel more secure and less freaked out knowing that no matter when you go into labor, you have someone to care for your DD.
Hey, I'm really nervous as my family live quite far from me and past time I was induced so I feel I can't go into labour naturally as it will scare me and I won't be prepared... Worse part mainly is the fact my gallstones I don't want them to start up during labour while I'm at home, I'd rather be in hospital with a planned labour so I know that everything will be ok x
There are more complications associated with inductions than with births that happen naturally. Talk to you doctor. I'm sure they'll take good care of you.
