blood pressure?

Question

these are my blood pressure results from the little self service machine next to the pharmacy. 
I'm just checking it, because I've had preeclampsia before. when to worry??

Answer

121/81 is a prefecture healthy blood pressure. Don’t worry about it, the stress could cause it to rise. If it goes up 15 more from your baseline then you should contact your doctor.

Answer

My OB said specifically not to test on those machines at drug stores. They are rarely calibrated and maintained. She says I was better off getting a good cuff for home use or stopping by the office.

Answer

These were mine and now I’m getting induced tomorrow😬

Answer

120/80 is perfectly normal for BP. Mine usually runs around there when not pregnant. My BP has dropped during pregnancy, and I have been around 110/60 or so. I don’t think they start to worry until numbers get to like 140s/150s over like 90s/100s. I used to work as a phlebotomist at a plasma center and we would let people donate up to 150/100. So I just use that as reference. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Answer

120/70 is perfect.
Yours is perfect and normal.
140/90 is stage 1 hypertension.
Anything close to 140/90 is what to worry.

Answer

That's a good BP. 120/80 is perfect. Anything between that and 140/90 is considered normal. Although 130-139 systolic is considered pre-hypertention and 140+is hypertension ( high bp) 150-160 systolic is grounds for hospitalization. Esp when pregnant.
