This question should be asked to the Doctor who has been seeing your wife during her pregnancy.
Giving my opinion on this forum is superfluous because I can't treat your wife.

Yes all organs are developed at 38 weeks
Baby is not premature
But then unnecessary induction of labour may end u up in a cesarean section
Better to wait till spontaneous onset of labour till 40 weeks of there are no other complicating factors
