Hi,
I read your query and I understand your concerns.
Following is my reply:
1) This condition is called preeclampsia. It needs to be treated with antihypertensive medicines.
2) Since you are already 39 weeks it is better to terminate pregnancy soon to prevent progression to eclampsia.
Let me know if you have anymore questions.
Regards,
Dr. Mahesh Koregol
