Hi,

Welcome to healthcare magic. I have read your question.

I would like to reply as below:

1) C- section is not necessary.

2) Since baby is small and low weight with high blood pressure, you can opt for C- section.

3) Its not compulsory

If you have any further queries, let me know so that I can help you much better.

Wish you good health.
