I had elective C-sect at 37 weeks as my baby was small too and wasn't growing as much. She was only 2.082kg when I delivered her. My waterbag level was low throughout my pregnancy and couldn't provide enough nutrients for her to grow. Gynae would have delivered my baby much earlier at 34weeks but did not as my baby's heartbeat and movements were normal throughout (was admitted to KKH for over few weeks to monitor baby). My daughter is now 15mths old and is well and healthy. She didn't have to go to NICU after I delivered her. My advice is to go with your doctor's advice if it is for the safety of your baby. At the same time, continue to monitor baby's movements. Good luck and hope you have a smooth delivery!
