38 weeks ; possible induction??

Hi FTM here! Haven't had much problems at all through this pregnancy. Have always swelled, but doc was never concerned. Today he said my bp was elevated (146/84) and if I don't get it down within the week he will induce next week. I'll be 38 weeks. Anyone else induced at 38w? Just wanting baby to be happy&healthy!

Re: 38 weeks ; possible induction??

  • I'm 38+3 and will be induced by 39 weeks for high blood pressure as well. I'm sure your baby will be just fine! :) it's better for them to be born a little early in cases like this because elevated BP can develop into pre-e very quickly and high BP isn't healthy for you or your baby. I hope it goes well for you!

  • Waiting to see what my doctor says on Thursday.  I've had slightly elevated BP for 2 weeks now.  Hoping it's not too high and I'm able to carry our baby until she's ready to come out.
  • I'm starting the induction process Friday night at 38 weeks due to high blood pressure. So excited and nervous. Wish I could go into labor on my own, but I know it's best to get baby out now before it has a chance to turn into preeclampsia or develope other complications.
  • I am checking in Monday the 28th to start the induction process and I will be just over 38 weeks as well :)
