A. Let 38 weeks complete and then go ahead with the surgery. There could be anesthesia related side effects and also surgery related side effects . All of these are usually short term ones

Q. My wife is 37 weeks pregnant, my EDD was 25.07.2021 but we have chosen elective cesarean. Therefore, our doctor advised that we should do a last ultrasound on 10.07.2021 then in between 11.07.2021 - 18.07.2021, they will deliver the baby but now due to some problem of the doctor not ours, the doctor is saying us to do the last ultrasound on 07.07.2021 and on the same day or the next day they will deliver the baby. Now, I’m very confused either to do what the doctor say or change the doctor. That is why I’m here asking for opinions please advice.
