I've been pregnant for more than 37 weeks. Today, I went for a prenatal check-up, and the doctor said I can give birth.

The biparietal diameter is 91mm, the femur length is 72mm, the humerus length is 62mm, the abdominal circumference is 300mm, and the weight is probably around 2911g. The placenta is on the anterior wall, can I have a C-section?

Hello, based on the information you provided, it is possible to decide on a cesarean section at thirty-eight weeks and more. In addition, during the treatment for a cesarean section, in addition to timely treatment, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also crucial. The patient must avoid excessive mental tension and worry to prevent unnecessary interference with the complete recovery from the cesarean section. Wishing you good health.
