Is Induced Pregnancy Advisable At 38 Weeks Having High BP?

I'm currently 38 weeks pregnant and my last Bp test was 160/100...my mom thinks I should be in the hospital on bed rest. I am currently taking Labetolol 200 mg twice a day for high BP and my doctor now wants to throw in Adalat to take...my last fetal assessment was great...should I be induced?
