High blood pressure?!

Question

I went in to L&D tonight thinking I was in labor but my contractions weren't dilating me at all. I'm 38+5 weeks and they realized my blood pressure was high, reading anywhere from 130/90-165/103. They ran some blood work and checked my urine and said everything looked perfect and to follow up tomorrow with my OB. When I got home I started looking on the not - so- informative internet and started getting worried. Has anyone had experience with this? If so, what did they do?

Answer

I had the same thing happen to me but my top number was 185. They kept me and put me on bp medicine and were going to induce me but my water broke. I was 36 + 6. 37 weeks when she was born. They told me after i was at a high risk for stroke etc. My daughter was fine and came home in normal time. I had to be monitored and almost had to stay longer but convinced them to let me go since i was just below where the danger zone was.

Answer

I had high BP before pregnancy and was on medication for it. When I got pregnant it somehow regulated my BP. IM almost 32 weeks and at my last appt it was a little high. She said we'll just watch it and she may put me on a milder form of medication for it

Answer

I had high blood pressure at 38 weeks and was induced, I've also seen it with others but your doctor may want to keep an eye on it depending on how bad it is.
