Gestational Hypertension

Katie

My blood pressure has been high for the last week. I first discovered it at my appointment with my midwife on Tuesday. Then last night I went into L&D to be treated for a UTI. My BP was high again the first 3 times they checked it.

, around 140/90. Then it normalized.

My midwife is asking me to keep track of my BP for the next few days. Today it's been 134-138/90.

Anyone else experience this? My midwife warned that I might need to be induced in the next week or so if it stays high. She's thinking that I'm developing gestational hypertension. Preeclampsia was ruled out for now. Almost 36 weeks.
