Pregnant with high blood pressure... needing some experienced insight in the subject?

my first pregnancy i had high blood pressure from about 22 weeks on and what they did then was had me come in every 2 weeks instead of once a month and would periodically do a non stress test they had me eat foods low in sodium and they let me go until 41 weeks and induced me cause the bp kept creeping up... and my second pregnancy i had high bp from day one they put me on bp meds called methyldopa twice daily had me restricted to a low sodium diet and they monitored me every week to every two weeks depending on how i was doing and i had 8 ultrasounds they delivered the baby induced at 40 weeks and everything was fine... your doctor should definitely be monitoring you closer i would definitely go to get a second opinion
