Anonymous C-Section or Vaginal Delivery? 0 Jun 22 2006, 7:29 PM EDT by Anonymous

I am 35 weeks and 4 days pregnant. I have about maybe 2 more weeks to go. This is my first pregnancy. I am a bit overweight and had some high blood pressure days in my past. I am very scared if my pressure will rise during labor. Also I was told that I am in the begining stage of Preeclampsia. But that isn't my question. My Dr. wouldn't answer it for me and it made me upset. Which is best? A C-section or Vaginal delivery? Especially if someone is afraid that her pressure can rise during that time. I am going through a lot of things with my emotions. My time is getting near and I am nervous and really scared.
