[quote=Anonymous]Mother of twins here - born via scheduled c-section at 37 weeks one day after having fairly elevated BP for the last 6 weeks of pregnancy, and then one urine test (at 37 weeks) showing protein in urine. I wanted to wait. Dr. pressed for delivery and had me talk w/ a second physician to reinforce the advice. What convinced me? "You are FAR better off delivering these babies in controlled circumstances, with the doctor you know and trust, and controlled anaesthesia etc... You do not want to end up in an emergency delivery in the middle of the night, compromising your health at the same time." You are very well along OP and your baby will almost certainly be completely fine. Plumping up will be more critical in the first couple of weeks than if you had carried to 38-40 weeks, but developmentally the hard work is done. And a healthy mother is pretty critically important after delivery also. Good luck![/quote]
