Patient's question:
The last menstrual period was on March 3, 2018. In these days, I carefully checked and the doctor said I am more than 38 weeks. This is my first C-section, and the second one was an early C-section. I was admitted to the hospital today. The main surgeon later said it was only 36 weeks, which is 2 weeks off from the estimated due date calculated by the previous doctor. Could it be that because I couldn't eat for several months earlier, the child showed smaller in the early check-ups?Doctor's answer:
The size of the child and the nutritional intake during pregnancy are related to the height of the pregnant woman. A two-week difference in height is a normal phenomenon. It is recommended that you pay attention to rest and enhance nutrition after childbirth, eat more lean meat, vegetables, etc., and have a B check-up at the hospital at 42 days postpartum to ensure the complete recovery of the uterus. The above suggestions are for the question "The last menstrual period was on March 3, 2018." It is hoped that it will be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
