Any other May mamas battling high blood pressure already?

Question

My first trimester I stayed in the 140/90s. Started on low dose aspirin and have mostly been in the 120/80s but I had a headache today and it was in 130/80s 😢

Answer

I have chronic hypertension. I was diagnosed with high BP 7yrs ago and have been medicated ever since. I’m considered high risk, I take labetalol 100mg twice a day and a low dose baby aspirin since 12 weeks. Surprising my BP has been amazing. Because of the higher risk of preeclampsia I’ll be delivering at 38 weeks.
My youngest will be 2 this month and my BP didn’t start to rise until around 30 weeks or so and my doctor just upped my meds. I had all the signs of preeclampsia except I never had protein in my urine. I delivered him at 39 weeks and he was born 8lbs 3oz and perfectly healthy. They never considered me high risk or had me on baby aspirin. 
I’m with a new doctor this pregnancy and I am so glad I switched. It’s nice to have a doctor who actually listens and cares about your concerns!!

Answer

I have not yet.. but I was while preg with both of my girls and it usually starts any day now. 😭

Answer

I have signs of high blood pressure prior to getting pregnant. Like I probably should have been in the hospital for it so right after I got pregnant my obgyn put me on baby aspirin. Its helped. I'm 22 weeks today.
