A new study in this regard has found that if women with pre-term pre-eclampsia plan their delivery, they suffer fewer complications and lesser hypertension.

They also found that the women in that group had more vaginal deliveries compared to those who experience the current method of care - specialist assessment of mother and unborn baby until 37 weeks, with delivery sooner if the clinical scenario changes and there is conce
