|---|---|---|---|---|---|
n | % | n | % | ||
21. If I am diagnosed with severe preeclampsia, I am uncomfortable with doctors trying to evaluate when to deliver the baby to “buy time.” It is better to deliver as soon as possible. | Agree | 169 | 31.0 | 103 | 39.3 |
Disagree | 376 | 69.0 | 159 | 60.7 | |
22. If I reached a point where I had to choose, I would rather see how long I could stay pregnant – even if this causes me to face some risks to my own health – rather than risk my baby being born too early. | Agree | 401 | 73.6 | 187 | 71.4 |
Disagree | 144 | 26.4 | 75 | 28.6 | |
