Hi,
Thanks for the query.
According to your description, there is possibility of cephalo-pelvic disproportion in your case.
Because of large size baby and short stature of the mother.
As the head of the baby does not engaged even one week before expected date of delivery, there is less possibility for further descent.
So better to go for elective section as adviced by your doctor.
Take care.
