Planned C Section At 38 Weeks

Mothers health results tended to be better with continued pregnancy rather than elective cesarean at 37 or 38 weeks but the difference was significant only at 37 weeks.

Planned c section at 38 weeks. Babies develop at different rates and some aren t ready to be born at the 37 week mark. I had planned c section for my 2nd pregnancy at exactly 38week 2 day and my son did perfectly fine. Planned c section at 38 weeks.

If you ve got questions about sweeps or aren t sure if what you re experiencing is early labour post here. Over the past decade doctors have studied late preterm births in depth. And the decision to undergo c section especially at a mother s or an obstetrician s choice.

Mothers results were much worse for later deliveries compared to elective cesarean at 39 weeks. What i was going up add is that per new acog guidelines as others have mentioned 39 weeks is now considered full term and that s when inductions and c s are now recommended but 37 weeks is still considered early term so i would think with placenta previa and its bleeding risks 38 weeks is a good compromise. When a vaginal birth occurs at 38 weeks it is very different from an elective c section at 38 weeks.
