Blood pressure!
posted 8th Aug '12
My blood pressure has been high the past 3 doctor appt! I'm getting blood work done again to check for preeclampsia! I just had a doctor appt Tuesday but she scheduled me another this Friday for my bp! Do u think they will just take the baby? Bc the doctor said she's starting to get concerned

I was induced before 38 weeks because of high blood pressure (and lots of warning signs of pre-e but the tests came back negative). This was with midwives who like natural approaches. They told me that blood pressure issues can be unpredictable, so it would be safer to give birth early.
The induction was amazing, it was my first child and I could not have imagined a birth going better then that one did (at the time, my second was spontaneous and it was quite a bit easier ). I didn't use any pain medication, as I had prepared for, nor did I even consider it during the labour.
So, I think it's likely that you will be induced if you don't go into labour on your own in the near future.
