My friend's wife is about 36 week pregnant. he went for a gynae checkup and the doc is advising to admit her to the hospital next week, but for a normal delivery. Her EDD is mid april Is it advisable?

my first kid came out at 36 weeks weighing 3.44kg. cant imagine if i were to carry on onto 38-40 weeks.. lol.. ask gynae whats the reason behind it. if its reasonable, go ahead with it. if not, then tell your gynae u refer to wait it out
