Elective c-section before due date, is that possible?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
39w: Earliest time for an elective delivery is 39w. Patients are allowed to opt for an elective c-section, but should really consider the risks and benefits. Vaginal delivery confers benefits upon the fetus, allowing the baby to transition to postnatal life and squeezing some of the fluid out of the lungs. Furthermore, the easier postpartum recovery will help you during that tiring neonatal period.
