38 weeks, need advice!

Hi ladies im looking for some insight im 38 weeks and for the last 3 weeks my blood pressure has been a concern and this week it came back in my blood work urid acid which would make me borderline toxsema on top of the high bloodpressure so my DR ordered me to be induced on Thursday that just passed but hospital was busy and told me come in the friday which i did and they assessed me and decided because im Borderline they don't wanna rush my babies arrival because its super busy atm so what should i do i tried calling my dr but hes out of office until Monday and this whole induction is to prevent me from getting any sicker they won't put me on medication because then my bloodpressure will be to low so im kind of frustrated on the wishy-washy behavior with hospital im not sure why they'd go against my Dr's orders, im concerned on whats going to happen, any other ladies have this happen

My first I had server toxcemia to where I was put on bed rest until baby was due until my blood pressure spiked and I did have a c section to insure that my baby and I would live...I would call Dr office and let them know what's going on in the hospital, it's not a condition to mess with, my baby and I almost died
