I wonder the kind of hospital that told her to still wait. The longer she waits, the higher her chances of infection, and of course putting the child in danger.

My advice is for her to opt for CS immediately, in case the baby isn't strong enough for vaginal birth.

Usually in cases like this, the child must be placed on antibiotics even after birth. Not for immediate consequences, but for later.

Speaking from my experience via a different doctor/hospital.
