I would talk to the OB.  Anytime from 37 weeks on is generally considered full term.  They can check the baby's lung development and take the baby by C-section if they are fine.  If it were me, I think I would have the C-section so I could then focus on my medical needs without worrying about what my treatment would do to my baby.
