Elective C section
I am into 38 weeks of pregnancy and it's my first time. All vitals and baby's growth is normal (2.9kg at 37 week) . No complications. Or previous history of miscarriages, placenta previa, sugar or BP issues. My age is 32. Due date is June 7th. Now the doctor is saying me to do elective c section for delivery. I wanted to go for natural way of delivery. Kindly advise why doctors advise elective c section? Is my baby's growth is too much to have natural way of delivery? Shall I wait for water break and labour pain or other symptoms for baby to come out on its own time as decided by nature?

It is not a question of the growth of the baby. In fact your baby is well within normal range as far as weight of the baby is concerned.
You didn't mention your height and weight, how many years you have been married, any problems during the pregnancy, any medical diseases, position of the baby.
It can be discussed for half an hour.
Please consult another Gynaecologist for a physical examination (if you want a second opinion).
