    Angry Very unhappy with OB - Need a new one at 34 weeks

    Brief history of this pregnancy.

    - I have high blood pressure even when not pregnant so Labetalol from day one.
    - I broke my leg in three places when I was 19 weeks
    - I had surgery 2 weeks ago to remove screws so I could walk and had stitches taken out this morning.
    - I am now 34 weeks pregnant and my BP has been 130/80 consistently without change (except for when it dropped after surgery) the entire pregnancy.
    - I have had scans to measure baby's growth and the little one is growing just as it should.
    - Bubs is very active
    - There is NO protein in my urine. Absolutely none. Not a speck.

    Saw OB this afternoon and he has decided I am to be induced at 37 weeks. He also decided it would be a good idea to tell me that it would be better to do things his way then to end up losing another child. (DD3 died last year at 3 days old from a congenital neuromuscular condition).

    I don't think I need to be induced and even if I did I think it is WAY to early to decide now. I think my baby is at much greater risk if it is born unnecessarily early. Am I wrong?

    Sorry for the long post but I am sure that I am right and he is wrong. What do you guys think?
