Ask a QuestionMom of 2 children2 months ago
Q.
Hi doctor, I Am 37 Weeks Pregnant. I had growth scan on 16th July, which shows 34 Weeks And 4 Days baby. The baby weight is approx.. 2.4kg. The gynaecologist suggested to have c section delivery after a week, as the baby growth is two weeks behind. This is my second pregnancy. First one was c section delivery. Can I wait till my EDD that is August 11? Or it's better to plan delivery after a week. Please give your opinion on this matter.

Sai Prasanthi R LMom of a 11 yr 7 m old boy2 months agoA. Hello my dear parent! As you have mentioned this, it is because of babies growth that your gynaecologist has advised for early C-section. Then it is that you need to actually follow the instructions. Just relax. Everything will be fine, good luck and take care.

Author of questionMom of 2 children2 months agoA. Ok. Thanks for the response.
Her reason was growth hindrance, as the scan shows growth of fetus two weeks behind.
She does not want to take any risk after 38 weeks.

ShubhangiMom of a 7 yr 5 m old boy2 months agoA. Hi there
While planned C-sections are typically recommended at or after 39 weeks of pregnancy to allow for full fetal development, a C-section at 38 weeks may be medically indicated due to various reasons affecting the health of the mother or baby. These reasons can include, but are not limited to, complications with labor progression, fetal distress or abnormal positioning, certain maternal health conditions, or issues with the placenta.
Well Ask your doctor why she wants your c section at 38 th weeks of pregnancy. If there is medical reason you should follow your health care provider. If not you can wait untill 39 weeks .
Good luck 👍
