Patient's question:
Age: 27Currently pregnant at 36 weeks. Ultrasound revealed the baby girl has a nuchal cord around her neck and one around her right hand.
Three years ago, I had a cesarean section!
If I have a cesarean at 37 weeks and 6 days, will it affect the baby?
Follow-up question: If the baby is born via cesarean at 37 weeks and 6 days, will this affect their development? Will they still not be able to breathe at such a young age?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, this usually occurs when the fetus is basically mature at 37 weeks of pregnancy. However, if the fetal heart rate, fetal movement, amniotic fluid, and placenta are normal, and there are no special circumstances, it is best to have a cesarean section close to the due date. It is recommended that if termination of pregnancy is necessary, an ultrasound can be performed to clarify the fetal development. Note that you should go to a regular hospital and avoid lifting heavy objects. Good pregnancy wishes.
