Patient's question:
I am 36 weeks and a few days pregnant, and I have chosen to have a cesarean delivery. Can a child born at 36 weeks survive?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to choose cesarean section for delivery after 37 weeks. A normal full-term newborn refers to a liveborn baby with a gestational age of 37 to 42 weeks (260 to 293 days) born, weighing more than 2.5 kg, with a length of more than 47 cm, and without any malformations or diseases. The survival rate of newborns after 37 weeks is relatively high.
