anyone with preecclampsia symptoms at 36 weeks and drs refusing to induce

I'm 36 weeks 2 days tmrw I've got high blood pressure and my blood work is coming back good but my protein in my urine is high and they want to keep me in the hospital until Thursday then induce but they are refusing to induce before 37 weeks unless my blood pressure gets 160/110 or higher.. I have a 3 yr old and the hospital close to my house will induce me at 37 weeks I'm not sure if I should check myself out and follow up with my Dr and have them do all the tests? Baby is perfectly fine and they r just monitoring my blood pressure every 4 hrs and 2 non stress tests a day on baby. Any advice? I want to deliver close to home especially if the drs here won't induce me and make me wait I've been monitoring myself at home for weeks before coming here.

I do too. I am trying to determine if I need to really stay here I have a 3 yr old and live an hr away with no one to keep her so I need to decide by Sunday. It's a hard decision to make but I can do all this at my Dr close to home and not have to be so uncomfortable for my last week.
