Placenta maturity stage three at 37 weeks and five days, does it need a cesarean section?

Patient's question:

I'm so upset about the Cesarean section. As of today, I'm 37 weeks and 5 days pregnant, and the placenta is mature at stage three. Will the amniotic fluid become cloudy soon? Should I wait for the baby to be born naturally or decide on a Cesarean section? A thorough examination shows everything is normal.

Doctor's answer:

In the late stage of pregnancy, everyone's examination situation is different. If there are no abnormalities in the amniotic fluid test now, it is unlikely to change significantly in the short term. As long as there are no abnormalities in other prenatal examinations, there is no need to worry too much. You can first do a fetal heart monitoring test to check if the fetus has any choking symptoms. If the pelvic measurement is normal, you can consider a vaginal delivery. It is important to pay close attention to rest and avoid consuming.
