Patient's question:
I chose a cesarean section because I am relatively short and the baby is quite large. Tomorrow is my due date, but I haven't felt any contractions yet, and all the indicators are normal. The doctor said if I need a C-section, it can be done now. Everyone says it's better to stay in the womb for a few more days, but I'd like to ask if, without any unexpected complications, it's better to let nature take its course and wait for contractions before having a C-section?Doctor's answer:
Actually, it's nothing if the fetus is slightly larger; it just means he's well-nourished. The most important thing is for the expectant mother to pay attention to her diet and eat less sweet and high-fat foods. Most pregnant women who consume excessive sweets during pregnancy tend to have larger babies.Advice: I recommend you get another ultrasound done at a different hospital. In clinical practice, I often encounter pregnant women who were told by other hospitals that they have low amniotic fluid or placental aging, but when they come to our hospital for a check-up, everything is normal. I suggest you get tested at a reputable hospital. Good luck.
