[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^ Just read your follow up answers--is there another doctor in the practice with whom you can consult? [b]Her reasoning sounds very extreme given your age and what the high risk is. I'm 39 and had higher BP readings than that towards the end[/b]; we were monitored a little more closely, but no one pushed me into anything. There's really no evidence base for doing so, not that early.[/quote] You have no idea what you are talking about. OP has a heart condition and *pre existing* hypertension. That is very different from your blood pressure becoming slightly elevated towards the end of pregnancy. There absolutely is an evidence base for inducing at 39 weeks for high-risk patients like OP.
