Whoa, those are some serious pre-e symptoms. How far along are you now, 37ish weeks? I'm surprised they haven't induced you either. I hope you and baby stay safe!
When my OB was out of the office I had to see one of the other OBs in the practice. She was not an OB I cared for at all. She had no bedside manner what so ever and I was happy that I only saw her that one time.
I agree that they shouldn't be waiting for things to get out of control at this point. If you were a month earlier then I'd want them to push you as far as was safe so the baby had more time, but your f/t and they don't need to you develop hellp. Your outcome is much better if they induce before you hit rock bottom, and at 37.5w a couple days isn't going to make a huge difference to the baby.
You are right around where I was with DD (I think I was 37w, 3 or 4 d) when I was induced for pre-e. I was really unfavorable for induction- not at all dilated, not at all effaced, and his head wasn't engaged. He was born vaginally about 20 hours after the start of the induction.
oh babe! don't be scared, it is all going to go great and you are going to meet your daughter before lunch!! Will have you in my thoughts all day, can't wait to see pics!
