worried about my bby girl

Ok here's my situation. I am currently 36 weeks and I developed mild pre eclampsia about a month ago. My BP was constantly high like 155/98 but every time they would just send me home. My protein level was 4+. I became really worried and stressed out when the Dr told me the consequences of pre eclampsia but still I was too early to deliver. Last week I went for an ultrasound and she shows to not have hardly any fluid left. Why won't they just deliver me instead of risking my babies health?

I would pay close attention to how much baby is moving and if you notice a decrease in movement I would go to labor and delivery to get baby checked just to be on the safe side.

Well I haven't noticed any kind of fluid loss. Actually I have really been paying extra attention to that and no vaginal discharge or bloody shows or anything. I have another ultrasound scheduled for tomorrow morning and if the fluid decreased they said that they might deliver me tomorrow.

The doctors must believe the baby is better off inside of you than delivered.  Being that your fluid level is low,  which can mean your leaking fluid,  you probably don't have much longer to go.  It is dangerous when leaking amniotic fluid.  Most docs will tell you to go to l & d ASAP.  Your level are probably not low enough to warrant a delivery.  Also,  a lot of docs won't schedule deliveries before 37 weeks,  because the baby is not full term yet.  I'll bet they do something next appointment.
