My wife is admitted to hospital because of high bp. Her BP is 150/85. Doctor says that if the bp subsides then we can go for C section. Or if we want to wait, we can wait in our risk ?
Will the baby survive, if we go for C section at this time ?
Can we wait for the EDD which is 13 Sept as given earlier ?
The scan was done a week ago on 18 August

Her LMP is 24 November. That gives the due date of delivery as 31 August. I don't know where the date of 13 September as due date has come.
She is already 37 weeks completed . Not much can be gained by waiting further. The baby weight is already 2.5 kg .
I think she should have a Caesarean within one week .

Please understand that the ultimate objective is safe mother and safe child . She is full term and baby is matured as per the gestation. Then no extra benefit by waiting till due date . Not necessarily I can say to go for lscs directly but delivery has to be planned if it is suggestive of pre eclampsia
