I have never seen ANY evidence that there is an increased risk of losing the baby at 41 weeks 2 days (which I believe what the short hand was saying.)

There may be a study to show increased risk after 42 weeks, though the study most often quoted shows increased risk after 43 weeks. It's still a low risk.

c-section carries a significantly increased risk of death as well.

Same here. If not for an induction, I would at least go for a NST and some monitoring. What were the reasons for the 2 previous inductions?

You're still perfectly within the window of normal gestation. If your baby is moving well and you feel good, why on earth would you start treating it like there's a medical problem?
