A member asked:
My sister is 38 weeks and her contractions are 2 mins apart and back to back and she has not dilated. does she have to have a c-section?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unknown: She needs to be frequently assessed to determine the health status of the baby. As she gets closer to 40 weeks there are other ways to help the cervix dilate. All the best.
