Maternal indications for delivery include: platelet count under 100,000, progressive liver function deterioration, progressive renal function deterioration, suspected abruptio placentae, refractory severe hypertension (>160/110), persistent severe headache or visual changes, persistent severe epigastric pain or emesis. Fetal indications for delivery are: severe fetal intrauterine growth retardation, low umbilical artery systolic/diastolic ratio by doppler ultrasound, non-reassuring fetal testing, oligohydramnios.
