Brief Answer:
Your doctors are correct in their management plan, please proceed.

Detailed Answer:
Hello Mr XXXXXXX

Welcome to Ask a Doctor service.

I have studied your query carefully and seen all the attached reports.

Ultrasound is essentially normal for the gestational age, only concern however is the water discharge.

Once the water (liquor or amniotic fluid) is discharged from the uterus there are very high chances of infection occurring and reduced amniotic fluid complicates fetal well being and the best way forward is to induce the labour and deliver the baby.

And induction may not be successful all the time so your doctors are absolutely correct in their approach.

If the induction fails, then only option left will be to go for Cesarean delivery.

I hope this answers your query.

I wish your wife and your child a safe delivery.

Best wishes.
