Question
My baby hasn’t been born by the due date, and I want to have a natural birth. Will I need an episiotomy if I get an induction shot? Do I have to have a cesarean section after the due date and within one week later?
Answer
If the baby’s position, placenta, and amniotic fluid are all normal, it is possible to deliver the baby before the due date. It’s not necessary to have a cesarean section just because it’s one week past the due date; it depends on the specific situation. Monitor fetal movements and conduct fetal heart monitoring every three days, and closely follow up with a doctor if there are any abnormal fetal movements.
