AFI is borderline. But thats normal at 38 weeks. U can plan induction for normal delivery in a day or two after discussing with your doctor.

You are already term and so plan for induction of labour as already the baby is comparitively bigger. More u wait till term u can end up in lscs. Better talk to ur doctor and plan based on Bishop's score
