Generally it means that there is some resistance to the blood flow in uterine artery. But the inference becomes ambiguous when it is "mildly raised at 37 weeks". At 37 weeks the baby can be delivered without any fear of prematurity.
You may discuss with your Gynaecologist regarding Non Stress Test and the need for Caesarean at 38 weeks.
