Anything from bed rest to them walking in and saying "Congrats, you are going to be a Dad in 20 minutes because we are inducing labor."
It all depends on a combination of how the mom's system is handling the stress and how the baby is taking it. They are going to be monitoring her labs and urine output for a variety of factors as well as ultrasounding the baby to check on it.
Good news is that, even though they still don't know what causes the condition, they have a pretty good handle on how to deal with it.
I am assuming you are at a reputable Woman's Hospital or other decent facility with a full OB Department? If not, get to one.

So true to make sure it's a hospital that has the doctors and tools to handle this. 1st one my sis went to is well known but had a small OB dept. After her 2nd trip in 4 days they sent her to another hospital that specialized in at-risk patients.
