Labor induction
I am almost 38 weeks pregnant and am on high blood pressure medicine. My Dr wants to induce labor at 38 weeks because I'm on bp meds even though my bp has never ran high through the pregnancy. I also have never had protein in my urine. This worries me due to the risks associated with inducing prior to 39 weeks. I also want to do a natural birth if possible. They haven't talked with me about risks, why they want to do this or even asked for consent.
