Week 40 and not labouring

I was expecting a normal delivery, but I am wondering, if let’s say, I have not gone into labour yet, can I request for a C sect at week 40? Has anyone done that? Currently I’m under NUH.

I have not done a C sect for my first though I exceed EDD. I give birth my first at 41 weeks 1 day. They did membrane sweep at 40 weeks while I am 3cm dilating. I was given a week grace period before inducing at 41 weeks. Usually they will ask to go natural then you can decide on other birth plan. However if you have a gynae best to discuss with them.
