Blood Pressure?

Question

So, before my glucose test this morning my BP was apparently higher than usual. I go through the rest of the appointment motions: take drink, urine sample, blood draw, fetal heart check... the nurse finally tells me yeah I'm going to have them retake your BP. It's lower the second time, but she wants me to come in on Friday to be sure it's okay.

Has anyone here dealt with high blood pressure in the third trimester? She mentioned I might need to take some meds for it? No protein in my urine. No headaches or visual disturbances.

Answer

I have high blood pressure. And GD. It was high when i first arrived and then i laid on my left side and it dropped back down to my normal. They were concerned if it didnt drop but no protein and no vision issues. :)

Answer

I do. I'm on 2 meds and just got out of the hospital on strict bed rest. I had my first weekly appointment today and they tried to put me back in the hospital. If it is still high in Friday I would get an at home monitor.

Answer

I have had it slightly elevated and didn't show protein in my urine until I did the 24 hour collection. I don't have any symptoms either I guess I have mild preeclampsia but some people just have the high blood pressure.

Answer

I usually have high blood pressure during pregnancy but since they have been taking it manually it's been normally if they are taking it with a machine tell them to take it manually also I use to take magnesium over the counter and potassium and I watch my sodium in take also don't cross your legs or talk while getting your bp done or drink caffeine I am on baby aspirin which is also helping I hope this helps if you need to talk about it or need tips let me know good luck
