I had a doc appointment yesterday and my bp was high so they sent me to hospital for 24 hrs and have diagnosed me with preeclampsia...she informed me that I am being induced tomorrow night and I will be 37 weeks this friday. I'm super nervous.

This is my second pregnancy with preeclamplsia. Both times they've used labetalol and nifedipine to manage my bp for as long as possible to get baby closer to full term. The dr might put you on meds and bedrest ot as you are nearly 37wks he might discuss inducing you a little early. Wishing you and bub lots of luck!
