Abstract
Any pregnancy complicated by hypertension must be considered to be at increased risk. Proper management dictates early diagnosis, liberal use of hospitalization, appropriate antihypertensive therapy, and timely intervention with consideration being given to maternal and fetal compromise if the pregnancy is allowed to continue. Unfortunately, the decision as to the proper timing for delivery is not always easily made, especially if the fetus is premature and there is an absence of compelling complications. Consequently, the liberal use of perinatal referral sources in these cases is both appropriate and indicated. Fortunately, the diligence and the care employed by the physician in dealing with these patients can be expected to be rewarded by a good outcome for both mother and infant.
