A member asked:
Just dx'd with mild preeclampsia- i'm 28weeks. does this put me at higher risk for preterm labor, or does it just mean i'll probably have to deliver?

Induction of labor: Your OB GYN doctor will continue to work with you to monitor the health of baby and the severity of the preeclampsia. Depending on the findings, they may consider inducing labor earlier. They weigh the risks of prematurity against the risks of preeclampsia complications.

Risk for preterm: For mild pre-eclampsia that begins before the baby is full-term (37 weeks) the typical treatment is admission to the hospital, with modified bed rest, low stimulation, fetal monitoring, and blood and urine tests. Steroid treatments to help your baby's lungs develop. If you remain stable, you may be able to wait to deliver until you're full-term. Your doctor will develop a plan that's right for you
