Don't apologize for being concerned, it's nothing to apologize for. It's just important to breathe and take things a day at a time. Yes your levels MIGHT get high, but they can also just as easily not. This is why you'll be monitored and watched, and if something does happen the odds of your baby being hurt are not that high. You would be amazed at how fast a c-section can be done in an emergency.

Breathe. If you're concerned, get a second opinion. Yes, doctors make mistakes (they are human) but they do know for the most part what they're doing. They're not just going to monitor your levels and when they're low stop - it doesn't happen that way. They'll continuously do it until you give birth.

Well... While the claim that 37 weeks is 'full term' this isn't a magical or safe number. Babies grow at different rates and dating is far from exact. So for an example say your baby is growing a week or so behind (which is perfectly normal) and you gave birth at 36 weeks 5 days - your baby would actually only be 34-35 weeks, and could easily require a NICU stay. The last weeks are vital for newborns, as this is when their lungs develop, when they learn to swallow, and when they put on most of their fat. While this can be dangerous, there's still a lot that's unknown about what it does to the baby and the harm it can cause. Your odds of stillbirth in a typical pregnancy are around 1:200 - try not to freak out, this is a common thing during pregnancy and your doctors know how to treat it. Talk to them about your concerns and see how they want to handle it.
