Hi there,
It depends if this is her first pregnancy? Has she has any normal deliveries before? Also I would like to know if she has any high risk factors in this pregnancy?
If she has no risk factors then she can wait till due date plus 10 days after the due and if she doesn't get labour pain till then she can go for induction of labour pain.
Direct cesarean is not advisable if she doesn't have any high risk factors.
Hope this helps.
Regards.
