Yes they can. Your not term. And if your cervix is not ready for it it’s setting you up for failure.

With my second, I got a membrane sweet at 37 weeks. But I was also in and out of the hospital with contractions starting at 26 weeks.
Wow. Do what’s best for your baby. He/she will come when ready. You will have to do what’s best for the child for years if your a good parent

I can’t believe your upset your doctor won’t induce you because your tired of being pregnant. You sound like a spoiled brat. Yes you may feel uncomfortable. But grow up. Be glad your doctor is being responsible.
What are you going to do with the baby interfered with your life? Which happened a lot. Maybe you should consider seeing a counselor before having a baby.

You’re only 37 weeks… half the time sweeps do nothing but discomfort anyways.

they normally wont until 38 weeks, but there are things to help you get ready, acupuncture and chiro can help, LOTS OF WALKING!!! primrose oil capsules will soften the cervix and raspberry leaf tea gets the uterus going, i got my membrane sweep done at 36 weeks +6days and it didnt work, but i was in and out of the hospital with some minor complications, and was induced at 37+4 because of pre-eclampsia, had him the next morning
Yes he can refuse to do anything he doesn’t want to. It’s his medical license up for grabs if something goes wrong, not yours.

Had 4 of my 5 children induced 39w-6d all the way until 40w- 6d
Discomfort means nothing, I was in and out of the hospital because HG & preeclampsia with my last. I had to have a c section at 37 weeks 2 days, luckily she was perfect
Any doctor has the right to refuse to do anything if they deem it unnecessary. It’s their license on the line. And if you push against their medical advice to hard, they can fire you as a patient for being a noncompliant patient just like you can fire them.

I do believe that a medical professional can refuse to perform an elective procedure, so in that sense, I believe the doctor is within his rights. Sorry about your situation
They absolutely can refuse, pregnancy lasts 40 weeks typically. A doctor can do these things if they feel it’s medically necessary for the health of the baby/labor and delivery for you… but prioritizing your wanting to end discomfort being in your third trimester is not a good reason to risk an infection to you and baby or baby not getting the full time to develop or rushing a labor your body is not prepared for which can lead to other complications.

Why would you argue with a doctor about your babies health? Your due date is a guess… Interventions are not something to take lightly. Most likely you will go late especially if it is your first baby, so tell yourself you have another 3 weeks to go at least gf! Mine were all over 40 weeks 
your body and your baby will be in harmony better if you allow your body to do its thing naturally. Start that labour too early by interfering and you may end up in emergency caesarian or in a painfully prolonged labour.
