If you have hellp syndrome do you have to get delivered?

Most definitely !: In few occasions and under very close watch by a high risk specialist, delivery can be delayed for hours and even days to allow steroids to mature the baby's lungs.

YES!: Regardless of gestational age, once the diagnosis of hellp syndrome has been made, prompt delivery is imperative to avoid maternal stroke, blindness, heart attack or death.
