Patient's question:
Due date is March 29th, but according to the doctor's estimation, the last menstrual period was June 22nd. However, my period is irregular. The doctor said the baby's head is one week smaller, which may lead to a delay of one week. Will an early C-section have an impact on the baby?Doctor's answer:
If the actual gestational age is one week less, then March 26th would be the 38th week of pregnancy. Labor between 37 and 42 weeks of gestation is considered full-term. It is recommended to have an ultrasound examination before a cesarean section. If the fetus and placenta have matured, the early pregnancy can be terminated. 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 avoid excessive mental tension and worry to prevent unnecessary impacts on the full recovery from the cesarean section.
