HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
If she is otherwise well and there are no complications up to this point, then the baby should be fine.
Because she is at an older age for this pregnancy, there is an increase risk of down's syndrome but her doctor may screen for this.
It is not likely to occur.
With history of a previous cesarean section, she would likely need to deliver this way again.
I hope this helps
