Is It Safe To Wait For One More Week For Planned C-section With The Cord Loop And Mispositioned Situation?

I am 37 week pregnant. my last ultra sound showed baby position as occiput is right posterior oblique. and there is single loose loop of cord around the neck.
my gynaec suggested to wait for one week then to go for planned C-sec. Is it safe to wait one week more with the cord loop and malpositioned situation?
