This is a big plus. My labor was going really good and they all thought I would have the baby quickly. Then my blood pressure went up to 216/194 and they gave me the magnesium which all but stopped my labor. Also I wasn't normal and was hallucinating until they took me off of it 24 hours after the c-section. Drinking fluids is so important right now. Although she is probably already going to the bathroom every time she turns around and that would make it worse. Inducing has it's ups and downs. If it isn't time for the baby to come inducing won't help and more than likely she will end up with a c-section. The other side of things is with pre-eclamsia it usually causes one to go into labor sooner.
