Pregnant. High Blood Pressure, Swollen Feet. Will A C-section Be Done?
Hi, I am 22 years old and 37~38 week pregnant. On Friday the doctor checked my blood pressure , it was 130/90, she said it is high and I need to recheck it on Monday. If it is still high she said, she will admit me. Tonight I checked it at home, the reading was 120/84 and the 2nd reading was 126/78. What shall I presume. Even my feet are swollen... will she do c-section? Is there any danger either to me or the baby

Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
There are many factors to decide whether a patient will deliver by normal route or cesarean section.
If position of baby is normal, cervix is good & pelvis is adequate, trial of labour will be given.
Mild pregnancy induced hypertension is not an indication of LSCS.
So do not worry & All The Best.
