Hello Gynecologist | Delivery in 37.6 wk
Hello Doctor,
- I have no medical condition, is it safe to plan a C-Section on 37.6 weeks? Baby weight is 3+ kgs
- My Urine analysis test is also Negative
- I am 35 years old, 5.3 ft and 87 kgs as on date
- I have been given Betnesol injection
- My Doctor has advised to do the delivery now in 38th week to avoid any UNFORSEEN complications.. I wish to do it a day prior and she says it's absolutely fine to do so..
Is it absolutely safe to have a planned C Section on 37.6 weeks or is it advisable to wait longer?
