Hi, I have planned my Elective C-section on 12th May, 2025 at 38 weeks 4 days.
Today I had my final Growth scan at 36 weeks 3 days.
Fetal weight is around 3kgs but my AFI stands at 6.5. My question is should I wait for 12th May or schedule it earlier.
My doctor says I can schedule anytime after 2nd May.

AFI is on the lower side. Get steroid injection for lung maturation and discuss with your doctor the options of delivery or repeat ultrasound.
