I am 38 weeks pregnant and it's my first pregnancy, baby's head is still not engaged in cervical bone and also as per my latest scan one loop around of umbilical cord around the neck of fetal was there? Should I go for the surgery or wait for the labour pains for normal delivery?

A. If all other factors are normal, then you can read for spontaneous setting of labor and if it is not progressing only then you can go for a cesarean surgery.
