Hi eej
At 140/90 your BP is a little too high but not high enough to require an induction providing that there are no other symptoms and it does not go any higher. Are you taking any medications to help reduce your BP? There are a number of drugs that can help to lower your BP and are safe to take when pregnant.

There are choices when your BP is a little high and your doctor may well know what’s best for you and your baby but unfortunately many of them put a higher importance on what is best for them and will often suggest induction because then they have some control over when the baby will be born.

An induction can be and often is worse than a normal delivery. There is also a greater degree danger and potential problems to both baby and mum. However there are some circumstances where an induction can save life but a BP that is a little too high is not one of them.
