High blood pressure?

Question

What is considered high blood pressure later in pregnancy? How high does it have to be for them to induce you? I have been having really weird feelings lately and been keeping an eye on mine and tonight it was 142 over 80. I usually am around 127 over 80. I am currently 38 weeks pregnant and have appointment tomorrow.

Answer

Weirdly enough, I ended up being sent to l and d because my bp was 138/96 three times over an hour. As soon as I got to l and d it was 115/70 for the next four hours ever fifteen minutes. Sigh.

Answer

My spouse looks for 140+ or 90+ and for a second reading of it within four hours. If it’s still high, he recommends induction (tries to get patient to 37 weeks).

Answer

I have officially been diagnosed with preeclampsia for the second time and they won’t take the baby before 37 weeks unless it gets and stays over 160/110. At 140/90 I’m supposed to call the doctor.

Answer

Mine was sitting at 140s/high 80s low 90s. We upped my meds and it sits on the 130s now and I’m still being induced Thursday at 38 weeks because of it. 100% talk to your dr especially if you feel weird

Answer

I think it depends on your doctor, and how far along you are. I’m 38 w 5 d and had bp of 138/70 tonight. Made my doctor nervous enough to give me the option of inducing on Thursday.

Answer

I think it varies from person to person. For me that would be a pretty normal reading, but I have high blood pressure before pregnancy. I would definitely mention it to your doctor and see if they’re concerned.
