Past examinations have always been head-down position. Two days ago, there was mild vaginal bleeding, now no abnormalities, but the doctor said that...

Doctor's answer:

Your baby is currently in the breech position, and there is a navel cord wrapped around the neck. It is recommended that for the safety of your baby and yourself, it is best to have a cesarean section. Although you have a tendency to scar, you should first consider your baby because you are no longer just a girl. After all, you are now a mother, and you should think more about your baby. Which mother doesn't want to give birth to a healthy little baby?
If the doctor says your current condition is not particularly good, it is still better to have a cesarean section in advance to avoid the risks caused by the navel cord wrapping around the neck.
