The course of : Management for you is expectant, meaning be on antibiotics and hold off delivery unless fetal or maternal indications. The WBC is automatically elevated in pregnancy, . I hope you have been initiated on antenatal steroids, they make all the difference. I have seen pregnancies extend for a long time with good outcomes in your situation. Avoid frequent cervical exams to avoid infection. Good luc.

Very very difficult : That is a very difficult answer that only your OB and mfm can answer. There are so many variables to consider. Fevers, infections, amount of fluid around the baby, amount of dilation, steroid therapy, the capabilities of the hospital you are in, amino infusion, tracings, contractions, and many more. Listen to your doctor on what they think is the right balance between treating & delivery.
