Congrats! But...why the induction?

Thanks ladies! I'm hoping for a quick/easy induction but know they can be difficult... Hoping for the best!

As for why we're being induced... I've had high blood pressure in the past, and it's been controlled throughout the entire pregnancy. Well, Sunday night I came home from a Christmas party with HUGE ankles and feet (haven't had any issues with retaining water/swelling at all before) and slightly elevated BP. When I woke up on Monday, the BP wasn't any better in fact kept getting worse. So, they upped my HBP meds and put me on bedrest until my appt with my OB today. Swelling's down and BP is stable but still a bit on the high side. With my higher than normal BP coupled with the fact that my DD measured 7lbs. 11oz. on Wednesday and she performed wonderfully at the nst today... he's decided to induce on Saturday!!
