It is better to continue the pregnancy till 39 weeks . In last pregnancy at which time your baby passed meconium and what is your current pregnancy status these all will decide when to plan your next lscs

Congratulations dear. Yes it’s absolutely safe to deliver by 37 weeks. Your doctor will probably give you injection for maturation of Babies lungs before delivery. So don’t worry .

Yes 38-39 wks is the ideal time for planned delivery. However the decision is usually made in last few days.

All depends on the status of pregnancy.If you are getting any problem continue till 39 weeks.In mean time any problem then get it done before.Because gap is less so I may get some problem.
