If a pregnant woman cannot give birth naturally, she can only choose a cesarean section, but cesarean section is very particular, and the appropriate timing and physical condition of the pregnant woman should be considered. Under normal circumstances, pregnant women have already started preparing for childbirth at 37 weeks. Is a 37 week cesarean section safe for a child?
Under normal circumstances, a cesarean section at 37 weeks is relatively safe for a child. Production from 37 to 40 weeks is considered full-term, and if you want to ensure safety, you need to observe for 39 weeks in the hospital. If pregnant women find that they have severe uterine contractions, it is recommended to go to the hospital for an ultrasound to understand their condition, and then see the doctor's specific arrangements.
At 37 weeks, the fetus has basically matured, and the frequency of prenatal check ups will gradually increase. The doctor will check whether the fetus has entered the pelvis or whether the fetal position is normal. If the fetal position is abnormal at this time, the chance of the fetus automatically turning to the head position will be reduced. If even a doctor cannot correct it, a cesarean section is necessary to ensure safety during delivery.
When the fetus is about to give birth, its position inside the mother's belly will continuously decrease, causing the pregnant woman to feel a sense of abdominal heaviness, and the frequency of contractions will increase. The frequency of going to the bathroom will also increase, and vaginal secretions will also increase. At this time, pregnant women need to keep their bodies clean even more.
