Low AC baby

Hi All, my fetal abdominal circumference is at 9 percentile but baby weight is at 10 percentile. My Gynae advise to C section at week 37 but my husband wanna delay to week 38 for the fetal to grow better. Any advice?

Please listen to your gynae. There may be internal reasons why baby’s weight is 10 percentile and gynae wouldn’t want to risk delaying birth. Baby can continue to put on weight after birth, so no worries. All vital organs are already fully developed.

your gynae must have a valid reason for suggesting that. if you're really hesitant you should probably seek second opinion from another gynae instead of looking for answers online from unprofessionals.

Is your husband also a gynae? Else why would his opinion supersede a medical professional?

Listen to your gynae. Baby is considered full term after wk 36 so it’s safe to deliver. No point keeping in you if baby is not growing as well

I don’t think 1 week make any diff. It’s already full term. Listen to gynae

listen to your gynae, by 37 weeks your baby is ready.

I would listen to gynae advice. They shld know better
