She's 36 weeks and has been admitted to hospital in the US where she lives with high BP, early signs of pre-eclampsia and various other issues (she's had SPD throughout, is itchy though tests suggest liver is ok etc). They are all gung ho about doing a c-section - though get the sense this is because it suits the hospital rather than because there's a medical need. She wants to wait until she can't wait any longer then try induction.
Beyond telling her to try and rest and relax, anything else I can suggest. Obviously my mum can't get out there at the moment to see her and is driving me totally and utterly crazy by worrying.
