Can you have a C-section at 38 weeks?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Okay. The normal gestation period for a fetus in the mother's body is about 40 weeks. If it's a natural pregnancy, 38-42 weeks are all considered normal. If you plan to have a cesarean section, it is recommended that it should not be less than 37 weeks, because if it's too early, the baby's constitution is relatively weak and its resistance is also relatively poor.
