General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Delivery can be safe after 37 completed weeks. You are 40 weeks pregnant... There seems to be no reason to delay the delivery... Kindly see an obstetrician.... Get your check up done....and let the obstetrician decide. The doctor can induce delivery by certain drugs or decide for a cesarean section depending on your check up.
