Hello, My hba1c is 7.0 and my fasting sugar levels keeps on fluctuating between 110 thru 130 while post parandial is between 140 thru 160. I am 35 weeks pregnant. My doc says, i need to deliver baby by 37 weeks, as babies are at risk. Is it really necessary to deliver so soon?? Can we not wait untill 39 weeks?? Or 38 weeks. What r the risks??
