[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP again...

I called the office multiple times yesterday and left a message, but no one ever got back to me (surprisingly). So I ended up calling the on-call doctor after hours at the hospital, a different one, and she said to come into the office for a blood pressure check and sonogram for baby. They can't fit me in until late this afternoon. Seems like there's no sense of urgency. BP is still high after resting all day (systolic over 140s). I'm going to insist on starting induction asap today or tomorrow (or whenever they can fit me in is what I'm predicting, given their attitudes), as I've heard delivering between 38-39 weeks balances outcomes for both mom and baby when there's GH and no other features present.

Anyone with GH wait as long as possible (39 weeks or later)? What were your reasons and how did it turn out?[/quote]

Have them check for protein in your urine when you go in this afternoon. GH can turn into preeclampsia in a second.
