Patient's question:
At the age of 36, I am in the late stage of pregnancy at 40 weeks + 5 days. Fetal position: head up, fetal heart on the lower left; Biparietal diameter 9.8 cm; Femur length 7.7 cm; Abdominal circumference 35 cm; Placenta grade II; Amniotic fluid index 8.7 cm; Amniotic fluid pools: Upper left 2.0 cm, Upper right 2.4 cm, Lower right 4.3 cm, Lower left 0.0 cm. Fetal monitoring: Frequent fetal movements, irregular contractions, NST score: 9; Normal umbilical blood flow.What kind of help I am seeking: Please let all the doctors take a look and decide which mode of labor I am most suitable for?
Doctor's answer:
Dear Inquirer,Looking at the fetus alone cannot guide the method of delivery. You have already been delayed by 5 days, and generally, if the delay lasts for a week, a cesarean section is performed to prevent the fetus from inhaling water and experiencing breathing difficulties. However, according to your ultrasound report, the fetus is in good condition and shows signs of labor. It is recommended to wait patiently and carefully monitor the mother's condition before deciding on the delivery method under the guidance of a doctor. Wishing you good health!
