[quote=Anonymous]OP, this is directly relevant to you. Print it out and go discuss it with your OB. "Delivery at 38-39 Weeks May Be Best for Moms With Chronic HTN After 39 weeks, women with chronic hypertension who received expectant management showed a significant increase in severe preeclampsia versus women with planned deliveries, 10.3% versus 0% (P=0.001). "The findings of this study do suggest that the nadir of morbidity for babies born to women with chronic hypertension occurs after 38 weeks and before 40 weeks," Harper told MedPage Today via email. "These results are consistent with [the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists'] recommendations for delivery [of these women] by 40 weeks." http://www.medpagetoday.com/obgyn/pregnancy/57864[/quote]
