Spent the afternoon in L&D

Went to my 38w appointment today and my blood pressure was up in the 140s. I have not been higher than 120s throughout the entire pregnancy. They sent me to L&D for blood work and monitoring. I was already facing an induction for kidney issues and I was scared with the combination they would induce today. We have the big stuff ready, but there are still little things we want to do. The nurse practitioner came in and said she went over the blood work with the doctor and he recommends inducing as soon as I hit 39 weeks which is this Sunday! Thinking about it now, I don't know if that means my blood work was bad or good but I had a million things running through my mind that I forgot to ask. I have to get a NST Thursday, so I guess there is still a possibility they would induce sooner. Anyone have any advice? Like I said, I knew this was a possibility with my kidneys but now I'm scared it will fail and I'll end up with a CS. I'm 1cm dilated, babies head is low and she said my cervix is soft. She said I am right on the border of having a favorable cervix for induction. They will decide Sunday if I need a prostaglandin to ripen my cervix. I'm just really nervous about the increased risk of a c section
