Blood pressure meds and induction?

Question

Just wondering if anyone who was put on blood pressure meds during their pregnancy was induced? This is my first pregnancy, I’m 36 weeks. My doctor is starting me on a low dose of blood pressure meds, mentioned possibly inducing me but didn’t elaborate. My blood pressure is consistently high, today in the 170s/100s. I wasn’t sent to the hospital since I was just there last night. But I’m wondering what the likelyhood of being induced would be if I’m on blood pressure meds.

Answer

Those numbers are high. Are you that high with medication? I started Labetalol on Thursday. I’m almost 39 weeks. Seems to be working for me and I haven’t seen my OB to talk about induction yet. But I’m doing NST’s every three days with a weekly ultrasound.

Answer

It all depends on if they work or not, if they lower your pressure then maybe not. But with that high of blood pressure you will probably be induced.

Answer

I’m surprised they didn’t schedule an induction for you with those numbers. (Obviously your OB knows better than I do though, lol.)

Answer

I’ve been on blood pressure meds my whole pregnancy (as well as long before). I’m also 36 weeks and I’ll be getting induced at 38 weeks!

Answer

I was induced at 37 weeks due to my blood pressure. I went in that Thursday and they told me to be at the labor and deliver the next morning at 5
