Mama, this is really a conversation you need to have directly with your OB, UTI near delivery at 38 weeks plus dilation is something that needs proper medical guidance talaga, hindi kami ang dapat mag-decide dito para sa baby's safety. I know natural birth is your preference, but your doctor knows your full situation, the UTI, how dilated you are, and what's safest for you and baby right now. Maraming mums sa circle ko nag-adjust ng birth plan based on what their OB recommended, at lahat ng babies nila ay okay. The most important thing is na healthy ang baby and mama after delivery, whether natural or CS. Definitely talk this through with your OB, ask kung ano exactly ang concern nila, if treatment options are possible, and what the risks are if you push for vaginal delivery. Trust your doctor on this one, mama. You've got this.
