Baby s heart beat is quite normal and liquid in uterous is also normal. In this condition shll we go for the induced pain or we can wait for the natural labour pain.

Hello
thank you for your query.
If your wife is having gestational hypertension ( persistently elevated blood pressure even on medication ), then delivery is definitely recommended at 37 weeks.
It depends on various blood tests done to assess severity of the hypertension.
Go alongwith your obstetrician's advice, as gestational hypertension, if uncontrolled, is dangerous for both the mother and the baby.
Take care.
