Yes if there is no other risk factor like high BP, derranged liver enzymes as told by your doctor, then u must wait for labour pains to occur provided baby movements are adequate as perceived by your wife. You can wait upto 7 days after your expected date; if pains do not start then pains will have to be induced by your doctor
