Hi Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern...
Yes induction of labour pains is advised after due date. This necessary does not mean that you have to undergo C section. You would be given labor pain & tried to have natural vaginal delivery. If labor pains doesn't work then C section delivery would be done.
As it is now 40 weeks of pregnancy, waiting more for natural labor pain is not advised.

Refer to your gynaecologist
Hope this information helps
Good luck
