Can a fetus at 37 weeks be delivered by cesarean section?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Hello, if your menstrual cycle is regular and the ultrasound shows that the placenta and fetus are mature, you can have an elective cesarean section to terminate the pregnancy. Generally, at 37 weeks of pregnancy, the fetus is basically mature and will not affect the baby. A cesarean section will not cause any diseases in the newborn.
