It's possible to request for it but if there's no particular reason it's not advisable. The womb is the best place for baby to grow (if everything is going normally). Some researches have shown babies that stay inside longer have higher IQ on average. Best to let nature take its course if at all possible

Usually they don’t recommend exactly 37 weeks, because these are estimated gestational ages, so if baby is developmentally actually a bit younger, the lungs may not be fully developed and baby can have breathing difficulties after birth

usually they suggest induce between week 40 to 41 when there are no signs of labour.. but you can also suggest and see what gynae say
