Ok if you are concerned about induction for her that's the first thing you can research - how to avoid induction. Natural induction methods. Make a list for her.
ETA: start researching articles and things about length of pregnancy and arm yourself with info on going "past dates". Help her to be strong (if she wants to) when the hospital starts talking induction. Unless she's happy to go with it...
Also - if she's worried about being cut, you could look into birthing positions that help avoid cutting, if there is such a thing. Perenium management - I was worried about my epi scar tearing with my second labour and so I discussed with the MWs how they could help - they held a warm facewasher to my perenium right when I needed it and the combination of counterpressure and warmth helped ease the birth of my DS. I still tore, a little, but it was much better than my previous epi. So you could start making a list of things to discuss with her care providers and put perenium management on there.
Have fun organising the shower for her! That'll be awesome!
