Patient's question:
My wife is 40 years old this year and has been approved to have a second child. Her last menstrual period was on February 22, 2005 (the 14th day of the first lunar month), and her estimated due date is November 29, 2005. Could you please confirm if this is correct? We plan to have a cesarean section on November 16, 2005. Is this possible? If it is, will there be any long-term complications for the baby? Thank you!Doctor's answer:
According to your description, if you haven't reached your due date but have undergone a cesarean section prematurely, then the fetus is definitely not fully developed. Therefore, this situation will definitely have an impact on the fetus, at least its resistance is not in the best condition. So, it's best to stick to the due date if possible. I suggest you not have an early cesarean section unless it is particularly necessary for medical reasons.
