[quote=Anonymous][quote=jindc]well, the whole "induction/magnesium" sounds completely awful - at some point, wouldn't I just rather have a c-section?

I'm fairly certain mine runs high, but I have a pretty strong case of white coat hypertension (fairly common in my family)

if the only indicator is BP, no protein, other blood tests fine, is that enough for them to order an induction?

I'm trying to stay calm, but I am frustrated like I'm branded with a certain diagnosis from week one because of my weight vs. being treated as a patient who is trying for the most natural outcome possible.

my doctor told me I'd probably get GD, for example.  Based on nothing but weight alone.

If you actually developed pre-e induction is generally preferred to a c-section for medical reasons.  They won't operate on you unless they have no choice. They will first bring your blood pressure down so you'd be on mag anyway.  Mag wasn't that bad for me. I threw up once, felt a little out of it, and that was it.

Standard guidelines for what counts as pre-e or pregnancy induced hypertension are pretty clear. If you don't meet those standards, don't go for an induction unless the OB has another medically appropriate reason.

Docs like to go for c-sections on larger women. Unless that is what you want or it is medically better for the baby, don't go there. [/quote]
