I mimic my mother both genetically and physiologically. I have high blood pressure, migraines, PVC's, loosing lots of weight while pregnant, the similarities go on and on. I just learned the my older sister was delivered at 35 or 36 weeks, perfectly healthy, because my mother was having blood pressure problems. Because of our similarities, I now worry that I will have to deliver early.

With that in mind, what are the risks to me and the baby if I try and push it to at least week 37. That would be roughly August 1st. I would really like to keep the baby in until it's ready but I was thinking at least 38 or 39 weeks.

I know you can't give me sound medical advice, but those who have previous experience, if you wouldn't mind sharing.
