Patient's question:
I'm pregnant with my second child, now at 31 weeks! I found out I have a scarred uterus! The thickness is only 1.3 millimeters! Here is the ultrasound report! A few weeks ago, I was hospitalized for three days of close observation and received injections to promote fetal lung maturity! I got a total of four shots! I vaguely remember they were dexamethasone! Of course, I had contractions and lower abdominal pain during the hospital stay! The doctor said there were signs of preterm labor, and I was hospitalized at 29 weeks! Now I've been discharged for rest and will have a follow-up check-up at 32 weeks. If everything is fine at the follow-up, and there's no expansion in the thin part of the uterus, what is the appropriate time for me to give birth? How many weeks does the baby not need to go into an incubator? What are the conditions for needing an incubator?Doctor's answer:
I am honored to explain your question. If the cervix is not dilating and there is no abdominal pain, you can wait until 37 weeks for a cesarean section. The criteria for entering the incubator vary from person to person and require an evaluation of the newborn's score after birth. Generally speaking, after 37 weeks, it is no longer considered premature.The above advice is for the question "When is it appropriate to have a cesarean section with a scarred uterus detected at 31 weeks of pregnancy?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
