Regardless of the severity of pre-eclampsia, there is no advantage in continuing the pregnancy when pre-eclampsia is discovered after 36–37 weeks.23–25 Nor is expectant management justif ied for severe pre-eclampsia before 24 weeks, in view of the high risk of maternal complications and the poor neonatal prognosis.26–28 The obstetric team must then discuss with the parents the possibility of a medical interruption of pregnancy. Prolongation of pregnancy in the event of mild pre-eclampsia can be discussed and re- evaluated on a regular basis. At 34 –37 weeks, management depends on the severity of the pre-eclampsia. Expectant man- agement is possible for mild pre-eclampsia to limit the risk of induced preterm delivery, but for severe pre-eclampsia, delivery remains the rule due to the increased risk of maternal and fetal complications.
