So I’m 20 never have had an issue with my BP in my entire life... around 20 weeks I slowly started creeping up but with hydration and monitoring what I ate I was able to maintain in the 120s/70s anyways went in for my weekly NST last week my blood pressure was 137/84 this week I was 144/80 :(

My doctor didn’t seem too concerned because I don’t have any vision changes or headaches. He did call me in a script for a BP monitor said to check it once or twice a day and then he would look at the results next Monday.

I’m also supposed to be induced at 37w so in another 4-4.5 weeks, should I be that concerned with my bp? Has anyone just had elevated bp without having preeclampsia? I’m scared for postpartum preeclampsia as well 😭 if you had elevated bp in pregnancy did it go away after birth or get worse? Just trying to prepare myself

I’m pretty nervous about all of this :/
