My wife's gynaecologist told us that my wife would have to undergo a C-Section as the umbilical cord of my baby is wrapped around the neck. I don't want my wife to undergo a C-section as I am scared of the consequences. What should I do?

Umbilical cord around the neck once is quite normal. Two or three rounds may post high risks of not getting enough oxygen supply for the baby which may damage the nerves and results in brain injuries. Most babies with cord around the neck can be born naturally. Doctor will unloop it as baby's head emerge. Close monitoring in labour is required. If baby's heart beat is found unstable during the birth process, your doctor will suggest the necessary procedure. If I may suggest, please seek second opinion. Find out which Doctor is experienced in handling such case. Choosing a doctor with skills helps. All the best to you.
