Patient's question:
38 weeks + 3, ultrasound results: Biparietal diameter: 9.5 CM, Head circumference: 31.6 CM, Abdominal circumference: 33.5 CM, Humerus length: 7.6 CM, Placental function: Grade 2, Placental thickness: 3.4 CM, Amniotic fluid depth: 4.5 CM, Fetal position: Head-down, Cord, Fetal physical score: 7.What kind of help do you want: I would like to ask the doctor whether it is better to have a cesarean section or a vaginal delivery in this situation. Thank you!
Doctor's answer:
In your case, the umbilical cord is wrapped around the neck once, and the baby is also quite big, so the possibility of a natural delivery is about half. It's best to prepare for a cesarean section. Your ultrasound shows that the placenta and amniotic fluid are normal. Generally, an umbilical cord wrapped around the neck once does not interfere with the baby's natural delivery. You can try a natural delivery first. If it's possible, it's better to have a natural delivery. As long as the baby is delivered smoothly, both natural delivery and cesarean section are acceptable. Pay attention to getting good rest and supplementing your nutrition during pregnancy.
