At 38 weeks, do I have to have a C-section because of low amniotic fluid?

Patient's question:

I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried it might affect fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. Please tell me if I must have a C-section at 38 weeks with low amniotic fluid.

Doctor's answer:

Hello! If your deepest amniotic fluid is only 24mm at the moment, it means the amount of amniotic fluid is not very much, and you need to go to the hospital for observation. Whether a cesarean section is needed will depend on your specific labor conditions and the intrauterine condition of the fetus.
The intrauterine devices (IUDs) used in clinical practice are mostly copper-containing or drug-containing IUDs, with plastic, polyethylene, memory alloy, etc., as the material. Their shapes are not uniform, including circular, T-shaped, V-shaped, Y-shaped, and chain-like. Different materials and shapes of IUDs have their own characteristics, hence they can be suitable for women with different physiques and needs.
