[quote=Anonymous]I recommend seeing an MFM. They are much more experienced in looking at BP and making the call to induce. For what it’s worth though, my experience with the MFM was they were actually more willing to wait and see than my OB, but that was based on my particular numbers. ( My OB freaked out and wanted to induce at 37 weeks for mildly elevated BP) 140/90 if I recall was not cause for induction. If you are regularly getting that 160 number though, almost any OB would induce. Best advice I can give is start taking your BP 3x/day and logging it on a piece of paper. You should do 1 hr after waking, just before lunch, and in the evening around 8 pm. The trend of the many data points is the best way for the doctor to determine the course of action. In your case if that 160 was not a fluke, I’d be persistent in getting another opinion. Preeclampsia develops so quickly.[/quote]
