Hello doctor,
My gynecologist said that I should opt for a C-section because of the following reasons: Low HB level (9.6 now), low amniotic fluid, fibroids which is at the cervix, age factor.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I could not see the fibroid in the cervix in this report (attachment removed to protect patient identity). It says fibroid in anterior uterine wall and size is very small. I do not see any of the above-mentioned reasons to go for a C-section as none of them is an indication to opt straight for operation without giving a trial of labor. Age is not at all a factor to consider for a C-section straightaway neither low HB. As the operation will result in even higher bleeding as compared to normal delivery. I feel vaginal delivery would be a safer option too if everything remains fine.
