Blood pressure during pregnancy!

Kadey

Hey ladies I'm 26wks today and for the last couple weeks I have been having high blood pressure spikes. My blood pressure was a issue before I got pregnant with my first and after having her I had to stay extra days in the hospital due to it being to high. I have been checking and tracking it until I went to the dr witch was yesterday and my dr didn't do very much he put me on medicine witch I'm really scared to take because I don't want it to have any effect on my baby and that was it he just said let's try that. It's been getting to 160s and taking a while to come down and i feel like they should be taking more precautions to make sure my baby stays healthy. Anyone else deal with high blood pressure during pregnancy?
