Doctor scheduled a c section

2022-06-07 05:08:11
I'm on my 36th week of pregnancy and the baby's head is facing downwards but it hasn't descended into the pelvis so the doctor scheduled a c section. Everything was completely normal during the pregnancy but as I have a history of 1 miscarriage at 4 months he doesn't want to take any risk and wants to deliver the baby next week. I'm worried about my baby as it hasn't been full term yet and this doctor is majorly known for performing c-sections. Every scan during the pregnancy was completely normal so I don't understand the need for such an emergency c-section. He's rather snappy and doesn't answer properly so I'm afraid to question him.

I can understand his concern due to your history of having lost a pregnancy at 4 months. But still there is no cause for Caesarean at 36 weeks.  I would like to wait till 38 weeks. I can do the weekly NST , or even more frequently. But if I have to do a Caesarean without an emergency indication I will do it after 38 weeks.
