Delivery through c section
I am currently 38 weeks pregnant and my doctor has advised me to do elective c section on 38 weeks and 6 days. As she will be moving out of the hospital and city . She advised based on That my baby head is still on floating position and not engaged to pelvic yet which generally happens 15 days prior so that chances of normal delivery will be there. Till now only 30 to 40 % chances doctor said. I am healthy, first pregnancy, age 31, no complications during pregnancy like sugar bp or low vital. 2 years to marriage. Baby weight is 3kgs as of now. Jun 6 is the EDD. So kindly advise will I be not able to deliver normally? Will it be risky if I wait till term ?

I will advise you to wait till term for spontaneous onset of labour
If everything else is normal you don't need to proceed with an elective cesarean section
