Since you have reached near term and baby's weight is also ok, why not get cs done and take the baby out. Cord around foetal neck may cause problem to your baby when you go into labor

cord around the neck is not an indication of lscs. watch for foetal movement (kick chart ).If movements normal no need to worry. go for gynae check up as per her advice. For cord around the neck u don't worry it's a normal variation .
