Can pregnant women with preeclampsia have a vaginal delivery?

Patient's question:

Hospitalized for high blood pressure one week after due date

Doctor's answer:

Hello, at 37 weeks it's still too early to determine if you can have a natural birth. We recommend that you regularly check your kidney function at the hospital. Whether you can have a natural birth will depend on various factors, such as the size of the fetus and your physical condition, once the fetus is full term.
