C section at 37 weeks 5 days

2025-01-18 18:23:13
I had AFI of 6.3 in today's scan. The doctor is suggesting to admit tomorrow for the emergency c section. I am currently 37 weeks 5 days. Is it safe to have a c section at this stage. Baby weight in scan report in 3 kg 300 grams. Is it pre term. Any issues baby will face after this. Please suggest.
