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's recommended not to 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.
