Patient's question:
At 39 weeks pregnant, with an amniotic fluid index of 7.8 cm, and 10 days past due date, what should I do?Doctor's answer:
Hello; Whether it's a natural birth or a cesarean section, the sole purpose is to ensure the baby avoids potential dangers and is born healthy and smoothly. Whether to have a natural birth or a cesarean section should be decided based on the specific condition of the baby and the doctor's advice, such as placental conditions, amniotic fluid conditions, etc. A natural vaginal delivery requires a baby of appropriate size, who can pass through the mother's appropriately sized birth canal under the normal contractions of the uterus, to be delivered smoothly. The benefits of a cesarean section prevent the pain of the natural labor process. The daily treatment for cesarean section patients mainly involves symptomatic treatment.
