My baby measuring bigger for 37 weeks. taking up all of my torso and weighing above 7 pounds. can i opt for a c-section or is that only for emergency?

Not recommended: Any woman can opt for a cesarean delivery, but it is not recommended. Cesarean delivey is a major abdominal surgery and has implications for your health, your baby's health, and the health of your future pregnancies. Based on your history as noted above, I see no reasons why you can't try for a vaginal delivery.
