Hi, Dr Purushottam Neurgaonkar here. I welcome you to HCM VIRTUAL CLINIC. I have gone through your question, and I think I have understood your concern. I will suggest you the best possible treatment options.

There are certain situations like intra uterine growth retardation - means small weight baby , and placental insufficiency - means less blood flow to baby and less amount of water around the baby. Such conditions need to deliver the baby by cesarean surgery.
In such cases, it is better that baby is safe outside the womb.

Usually at 35 weeks of pregnancy, baby has less risk. But the treating doctor usually helps out the baby by giving Injection Beta methazone. This helps baby to breath easily. So Trust In your treating Doctor.
All things will be fine.
May God bless you with a bundle of joy.

I hope this answer helps you.
Thanks
