Just want to offer a little reasurance. In both my pregnancies my blood pressure is great until the last few weeks when it seems to shoot up and hover around 145/90 ish. I have never been diagnosed with pre-eclampsia as urine was always clear. They just kept an eye on my blood pressure, checking it more often and advised to contact if any symptoms eg sudden swelling, flashing lights or headaches.
Whenever it was over the 90 they would send me to day assessment then send me home if it was back at 90 or below. Both my boys were born perfectly healthy at 39+5 and 40+2. My BP went straight back down to normal following birth.
As to requesting an induction I would discuss the options with your doctor, they will be the first to advise induction if they think thats what is safest. They advised me they would induce at 41 weeks if my second hadn't put in an appearance.
Hope all is ok.
