Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I am 28 years old this year, and I am almost 37 weeks pregnant. I don't want to have a natural birth because I am afraid of pain. I plan to have a cesarean section. I want to ask you, tomorrow is 37 weeks, can I have a cesarean section?Doctor's answer:
At 37 weeks pregnant, it is necessary to decide how to proceed with a cesarean section based on the fetal growth and development as well as the maturity of the placenta. It is recommended to visit the obstetrics department of the hospital where you plan to give birth for prenatal examinations to clarify these conditions. Under the guidance of an obstetrician, you can determine the appropriate time to have a cesarean section, which has already completed differentiation, to minimize harm to the pregnant woman and fetus.In addition, during the treatment for a cesarean section, in addition to medication, the patient's dietary condition and mental state are also particularly important. The patient must always maintain a positive mood and eat appropriately to avoid unnecessary impacts on the full recovery from the cesarean section.
