What Causes High Blood Pressure During The Third Trimester Of Pregnancy?

Hi, I m in my 33rd week n have been having high BP since week 31st. It has not gone beyond 170/110 but now varies from 120/85 to 145/110. My gyn adviced me to take Labetolol 100mg & alpha dopa 250mg thrice a day. Also, she wants to induce labour by 22 - 26 Feb 16 n said that it could be a C-sec if BP remains same. I also underwent sonography reports are normal , baby weighs 2.1 kg & also done my urine & albumine test results are normal . Please advice whether I should seek a second opinion or go as per my gyn as I want to go in for a normal delivery. Do also advise weather I should cut down my medicine or should I take as gyn instructed because I think these are quite heavy dose .
