Spike in blood pressure?

Question

I've had super low blood pressure the whole pregnancy.... Two weeks ago I was 112-71. My lowest was like 98-67. I've been soooo happy about it. But today I found out I've only gained half a pound in two weeks (abnormal for me as well) and my bp was 136/88.... It's NEVER even been 120/80, the normal. This is a big spike for me. My office doesn't get concerned until 140/90, but I am worried... Can someone help ease my concern?

Answer

Hmmm I would be concerned too as my BP runs about the same as yours. What I would do is make sure you're drinking around 100ozs of water a day, go for a walk or do some light exercise to sweat a little, and don't eat any salt/processed/prepackaged or processed surgary things. Do this for a cpl days and then check it again.

Answer

I went back a few hours later and I was 110/71 😁 just an off moment!

Answer

Same thing is happening to me. I'm starting to pack on the pounds and my lower blood pressure has gone up some. It's generally around 100-110/60s and is now 120s/80s. While that is still considered healthy and normal it makes me worry that maybe it will keep going up.

Answer

I bought a home wrist one to monitor myself. Maybe today it was just off?
