The definitive treatment of preeclampsia is delivery to prevent development of maternal or fetal complications from disease progression. Whether or not to deliver the fetus is based upon gestational age, the severity of preeclampsia, and maternal and fetal condition. Patients with mild orsevere preeclampsia at or near term are delivered; however, remote from term, the risks of serious disease progression need to be balanced against the risks of preterm birth.
It is difficult to tell you whether you have a medical malpractice case worth investigating. To know that, I would have to look at all of the pertinent medical records to get a better idea about whether the doctors exercised the appropriate judgment.
