I'd personally say get the baby out.

I had my baby at 37+3 and they were fine, no issues and didn't need help with breathing etc.

Have you had any bleeding?
The tricky thing with a low-lying placenta is that near the end of pregnancy, if contractions start, you can start to bleed.
Have they explained to you why they want to deliver you at this stage?

They wouldn’t be delivering the baby now for fun, I’d go with the medical advice and get her out. Baby is fully cooked, no need to extend things now. Good luck!

Are you worried about the caesarean?
