A member asked:
Is a c section medically necessary if a baby is head down but the head is not engaged in the pelvis at 39 weeks?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not always: But the head needs to move down at some point, your circumstances may be better served by csection, if baby is too large, for example. Discuss with your doctor to be sure the best plan is considered.
