Hi...am happy you reached 38 weeks and it's better to go ahead with delivery (normal or Csection) because the risk is more than benefit in your case by waiting ..baby will be mature by 37 weeks ..don't worry .

Better don't wait. Liver is a dangerous organ that way.
There can be sudden placental insufficiency which may cause disastrous results.

Yes it is
Lung maturity is attained at 36 weeks
This is called cholestasis of pregnancy
Waiting may lead to intrauterine demise
