What Are The Precautions Before A Cesarean Section?
Ive had four caesarian sections and am 37weeks pregnant with my fifth my doctor wants to take me in for bed rest for a week till he does the c- section at 38 weeks as my placenta is low lying!! Do I need the weeks bedrest or would it not be better to deliver now since its my fifth section?

Hello
Thanks for your query
It is good to take bed rest and allow the doctor to monitor you.as yours is a 5th c section and low lying placenta it can be risky case . Delivary after 38weeks is prefered when there are no emergency indications.
