Hi Doctor, I am a 30 weeks Pregnanat woman. My age is 30 and I am diabetic too. My diabetic got detected on the 8th week of Pregnancy. I have history of missed abortion to. At the very first my Triglicirides avule were quite high , my doctor asked me to take Ecosprin-75 and I am still continuting the same. My age os 31yrs. Should I go for a normal delivery or a C- Section ? Which one is good for me and my baby ??
Hi, Neither your age, diabetes, history of missed abortion or high triglycerides make you a candidate for Cesarean. You should definitely try for a normal delivery, and only if some problem arises for the baby or you during labor will the obstetrician be considering a cesarean. Is your diabetes in control, are you taking insulin for the diabetes? If so, when was your last growth scan of baby done, and in what gentile was baby growth. Sometimes with uncontrolled diabetes the baby can put on excess fat around its neck and shoulder area and cause a difficult delivery. These things will be kept in mind by the obstetrician at the time of delivery.Also, if you are on Insulin, it is likely that your Obstetrician will advise Induction of labor at 38 weeks. Hope this helps. Regards.
