Should I Undergo A C- Section Having High BP?
Hi, I am 34 weeks pregnant and have high blood pressure. I also had a 24 hour urine collection test, in the beginning of the pregnancy it was 119, two weeks ago it was 259, and last week it was 274. I have an appointment scheduled to see my doctor. What are my options? Will she schedule a c-section this or next week for me? Thank you

Hello na'am and welcome.
One of the many indications for a cesarian is hypertension (high BP). This would be the safest option for women with hypertension, so please do go ahead with the same.
Hope this helps.
