((UPDATE))
First off I wanted to say thanks so much for all of your encouragement and your stories. They REALLY helped me, all the reading was freaking me out! Your stories really helped me feel relieved.
I went to the OB today and my b/p was good, it went up to 138/97 for one of the checks but all the labs were normal and it was the only high reading in an hour and a half. So they let me return to work, but I have to go back to the OB every week now, and next Friday is my next visit. Lets hope the bp stays down...
I'm not sure if they are still considering induction I didnt really get to talk to my OB very much today (mostly w/ the nurses) so I will have to talk to him next Friday! But Im thinking as long as the BP stays Low and they find no protein in my urine then I think they will not induce (fingers crossed).
Well i will definitely keep you ladies up to date. Thanks again so much.

Hello Again-
So I just went to the doctor today and they got what they said was a 'really high' blood pressure. They didn't tell me what it was, but when they rechecked it (after some rest in the waiting room) it was 124/92. Im guessing that is still high because I had to give another urine sample, a blood sample, and go to the labor/delivery ward for fetal/bp monitoring. The baby (thankfully) is doing fine, but my blood pressure didnt go down until about 45 mins laying on my left side. It actually climbed to 138/113 at one point.
So the doctor released me saying that half of my blood work came back and was great but that I would have to be on bed rest until Friday when I have to go back for more tests. If my blood pressure is high again they will take further action but induction before 40 weeks is GIVEN. So I am a little nervous, I have been doing research online on this topic and also reading my basic pregnancy books. However none of this seems to help ease the stress. I was hoping maybe someone on here has experience w/ this issue and could offer some experiences and insight. I would really appreciate any sort of feedback at all. Thanks so much in advance.
