Brief Answer:
It's not normal...

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

I have gone through your query and here is my advice.

As per your history, it may indicate intestinal/bowel obstruction and it's not normal.

As per my knowledge, I would suggest you to consult with gynecologist for detailed examination regarding abdominal girth i. e to check polyhydraminos.

As you have already completed 38 weeks, so He/she may advice amniocentesis and urgent cesarean section to prevent further complications.

I would suggest you to undergo cesarean section at tertiary centre where pediatric surgeon can manage further consequences.

Hope I have answered your query and let me know if I can assist you further.
