38 weeks 2 days pregnant. Baby measuring at 89%th percentile.

Need Advice

Hi all, FTM here, baby boy measuring in 89th percentile, estimated to be 8 lbs 6 oz, I am seeing my doctor every week at his practice, but the growth scans are done at the hospital where the baby will be born. His head is also in the 99th percentile. My question is should I ask for an induction or c section? Next week when I see the doctor again I will be 39 weeks + 2 days.
