Can a cesarean section be performed at 37 weeks 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 of pregnancy?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, yes. In the late stages of pregnancy, if the fetus's growth and development are good and the pregnant woman is in good health, it is best to choose a natural birth, which is beneficial for both the fetus and the pregnant woman's body. Generally, babies born before 38 weeks are considered premature and may require care in an incubator. It is best to be patient and wait for the onset of labor.
Hello, you can have regular check-ups. It may not be immediately apparent, but from the time of diagnosis, you should start going to the hospital for check-ups, get a prenatal health card, and have one check-up every four weeks before 28 weeks. After 28 weeks, it should be every two weeks, and after 36 weeks, it should be once a week. This will help you clearly understand the baby's growth and development, and you should not be careless.
