I also agree with taking your time, based on my experience with a Dr who kept trying to push a CS, time was exactly what we needed. But if your DS is already 'locked & loaded' you might have an easier time of it than I did!

I was 11 days overdue, and DD was very high and slightly posterior. She was showing no signs of getting into position and starting labour on her own! My cervix was slightly soft and could be stretched to 1cm, but it was still high and to the back. So I had my first lot of gels at 8pm. The plan was to get a good sleep overnight, check me at 8 the next morning, and hopefully break the waters. 8am came and nothing had happened! Not even a slight change in my cervix, and DD hadn't moved. So, more gels with the next check to be at midday. Contractions started coming along well this time, and I felt like we were on our way! But midday came, and a VE found that my cervix had only barely softened, and only moved a tiny bit forward. The Dr was not convinced more gels would do anything, and was certain I was headed for a CS. But DH and I asked for time, as I'd been having good contractions (to the point they made me vomit).

So we had that extra time, and the Dr was going to come back at 6pm. But DD had her own ideas! At 2:50 my waters suddenly broke on their own. The midwives found I was 4cm dilated, hooray! It all got very frustrating here as I spent from then onwards on the bed strapped to the monitoring machine, so if you can get it to be mobile monitoring I reckon go for it! Anyway, all on her own DD turned around, dropped and started making her way out. She was born naturally at 5:45pm.

If we hadn't had that extra time, I have no doubt I'd have had a CS. The Dr actually started suggesting it at 8am when the first lot of gels did squat. But if your DS is all ready to go and your cervix is favourable, hopefully all you'll need is the gels and it'll get going nice and smoothly for you! Good luck!
