Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
Based on the sonography reports you have posted, amniotic fluid has improved from 34th week to 37th week with medication you have taken.
However, since there is cord around neck finding in both the sonography report, it appears to be a little risky to go in for normal delivery. Hence, it would have been suggested by your doctor to go in for Cesarean Section.
Kindly take an another opinion and then decide to go for which type of delivery would suit you the best.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
Wish you all the best and have a healthy outcome.
I find this answer helpful
