C section for big baby
Is it better to go for planned c section if baby weight is high and if it's 2 weeks ahead of his gestational period? I had a normal pregnancy and no other medical issues. My weight increased by 8 kg until now when I am at 36 weeks and 1 day pregnant. Don't have diabetes too. Please suggest best thing to do. The baby was 2.3 kg at week 33. Have another scan coming up on 37 week
