Hello dear and thanks for posting your query here.
I understand your concern.
As the septum was seen in last sonography but not in the latest one. It is almost impossible for the septum to vanish because a structure once formed generally stays and doesn't disappear.
Moreover the lady is already 37 weeks pregnant, so just go ahead with the delivery but plan it in a tertiary centre so that the NICU backup support is there.
Once the baby is born, get an urgent Echo to confirm the exact condition of the heart.

I hope this information would be of help to you.
Thanks and all the best.
