[ 2 ] [ 3 ] It is usually performed late in pregnancy, that is, after 36 gestational weeks , [ 4 ] preferably 37 weeks, [ 5 ] and can even be performed in the early stages of childbirth.
It is suggested that this decrease in in-hospital recovery time reflects a decrease in pain and an increase in post-birth mobility for the mother.
