Can a Cesarean section be performed at 37 weeks and 3 days of pregnancy?

Patient's question:

I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. Can I have a Cesarean section at 37 weeks and 3 days of pregnancy?

Doctor's answer:

The fetus can generally survive normally after birth at 36 weeks of gestation. But why did you choose to have a cesarean section three weeks before your due date? If you are certain about having a cesarean section, it is best to consult the obstetrician who will perform the surgery. They should first examine the condition of the baby and analyze the advantages and disadvantages of the baby continuing to grow in the uterus versus being born.
