Hỏi & Đáp

Can my baby now start to sense light?

Chuyên gia

No one really knows because it is a dark environment in the womb, and it is a moot point because it is irrelevant. What is more important is that the baby's eyesight is fine after delivery. Babies get routinely screened at birth so you don't have to worry.

Can I select a delivery date for my child if it is a planned C-section?

Chuyên gia

Yes you can, but within certain limits. The child has to be mature enough and not have had any co-exisiting problems (e.g. the mum having hypertension or diabetes) that indicate the need to get the baby out earlier. It depends on the situation.Most of the time for planned c-section, doctors choose to deliver at around 38 weeks of gestation , not too late in case the patient goes into labour herself and not too early as there's always a bit of error when it comes to dating of pregnancy.
