Elective C section
I am into 37 weeks of pregnancy. Last week (36weeks) I have ultrasound which said baby weight is 2.9kg around . Now the doctor I showed the report saying that I should go for elective c section by 38 weeks and 3 days since my baby is full term now and it will be difficult later on full term to deliver naturally VABC since baby weight and size will be more. So I am very worried and confused. I always wanted a natural way of progressing my delivery and wait for all signs.
Kindly advise what should we do?

Kindly provide details if this is first or second delivery and also details on first delivery. Also on other existent risk factors.
In case first one was caesarean section then 38-39wks is good for delivery.
