Patient's question:
The last menstrual period was on December 24th. Each menstrual period is delayed by about ten days. On September 14th, an ultrasound was performed: biparietal diameter 91mm, femur length 71mm, abdominal circumference 333mm, fetal heart rate 146 beats per minute, amniotic fluid depth 50mm, maturity degree II. How many days can a cesarean section be advanced?Doctor's answer:
Generally, around 37 weeks, a cesarean section can be performed. The estimated due date is calculated from the first day of the last menstrual period, and it has nothing to do with delayed menstruation. Whether the menstruation is early or late, the gestation period is 280 days. If you want to schedule a cesarean section, you need to have an ultrasound examination to check the maturity of the placenta. The placenta can be considered mature for a cesarean section if it is classified as grade 3 or higher. It is not determined by the number of days to predict the timing of the cesarean section.In addition to receiving treatment for a 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.
