Hi.
Thanks for your query.
On 30th December, it will be 37 weeks of pregnancy which is considered term.
The period for lung maturity of the baby is satisfactory at this gestation and if your gynecologist has taken this decision of terminating the pregnancy by 30th due to some reason, it is okay and your baby will be safe and will probably not require any extra or intensive care.
