My wife is 38 week pregnant. doctor is asking us to have a c-section within three days. The only complication baby is having is that a loop has been seen during the ultrasound.Is this the right time to have a delivery or shall we ask the doctor to wait for some more time.

Hi,
Loop of cord around neck is not an indication for Caesarean section.
Only if she goes into labour and the babies heart beat gets slow does a Caesarean become necessary.Also 38weeks is too early to have a elective Caesarean.If mother has no other complains then you can wait for her to go into labour.
Hope this helps .
Regards.
