It is not so very abnormal to have a 3 kg baby at 35 weeks.
I hope you are not planning to have a delivery at home under the care of a trained Birth Attendant (दाई) ।
Please consult a Gynaecologist in your area and plan for a delivery in a well equipped hospital with availability of a Gynaecologist round the clock.

Fetal weight 3 kg at 35 weeks is on a higher side. You should consult your Gynaecologist nearby for the mode of delivery. It is not only baby weight but also the adequacy of pelvis which determines the mode of delivery

Rather than the weight it is the abdominal circumference which is corresponding to the weeks of pregnancy is more important
Fetal weight at 35 weeks of 3kgis on the higher side
There 5 more weeks to go
difficult to predict chances of normal delivery
Will depend upon the weight of the foetus at term and pelvic assessment
