I had my first son at 35w 6days due to pre-eclampsia

It's usually if mum has severe pre-eclampsia or is really unwell and delivery will help to improve maternal condition or there are major concerns about the blood flow through baby's cord. In some cases of preterm rupture of membranes delivery is offered at 34 weeks to reduce the risk of infection.

My only reasoning is she's not putting on the required 20g a day which seems rediculous to me... she's still growing and everything else seems to be fine. Cord is being monitored regularly and having CTG which all seems fine. I feel as if there's more risk delivering early. I'm only 5ft and was a small baby ( only 2kg) when born at full term so feel as if she's probably a small baby. The consultants are stressing me out 😔

That would be an indication for increased monitoring with scans, not early delivery.
