Moms who had pre-e in past pregnancies

For those of you who experienced pre-eclampsia in your past pregnancies, did your MFM or OB bring up the possibility of inducing your current pregnancy once you past 37 weeks even if there weren't current medical issues?

We are currently trying to get pregnant  with our 3rd and our dr. just told us that we will most likely develop pre-e sooner and that the symptoms will be much worse. They also informed us that we will deliver at 37 weeks.

Thanks for everyone's input! For those who have similar questions, I talked to my MFM yesterday and he said that as long as my bp is good and other test results are fine, I wouldn't be induced. My quick background - pre-e with my 1st child at 36 weeks
