Patient's question:
The baby has been 3 days past the due date. After a thorough examination, it was said to be in a half-engaged position. When will it be fully engaged? I'm very worried about the baby. How many days before the due date would the baby be in danger? Is a cesarean section better or a vaginal delivery better? What does amniotic fluid degree I mean?Doctor's answer:
Hello! Since you have already passed your due date, and the baby has not fully engaged in the pelvis, waiting is not a solution either. We need to find a solution as soon as possible. Your thorough examination lacks many data points, such as the baby's position, umbilical cord issues, and placental maturity, in addition to the amniotic fluid level being grade 1, indicating reduced amniotic fluid. I think a cesarean section would be better. In addition to preparing for the cesarean section, it is recommended that patients pay attention to their diet in daily life and maintain a cheerful mood to enhance their physical condition and slow down the recovery process.
