Is Induced Pregnancy Advisable At 38 Weeks Having High BP?
I'm currently 38 weeks pregnant and my last Bp test was 160/100...my mom thinks I should be in the hospital on bed rest. I am currently taking Labetolol 200 mg twice a day for high BP and my doctor now wants to throw in Adalat to take...my last fetal assessment was great...should I be induced?

You should definitely go for induction. As u r 38 weeks fetal maturity is no problem. As your bp is high u are at risk of preeclampsia and eclampsia.
