BP readings have been 140s/90s for the past 12 hours. Should I go to the hospital or wait til my appt this week?

Question

Answer

That was my blood pressure and I got induced. Had the baby this past Tuesday

Answer

Go now. My friend had the same (literally exact numbers) and they induced her on the spot

Answer

Mine was /88 dr said it’s not until /95 that they get concerned. 
I’m just told to relax. So my husband is literally making it impossible for me to do anything.... he’s even making cookies for me because apparently that is too much 😂😂

Answer

It depends on what your normal reading is. Mine is 110/60 so I imagine they’d be a bit surprised seeing that from me but if yours is typically higher it may not be concerning. A quick call to the OB or L&D won’t hurt

Answer

I’d call. You could also do your own 24hr urine collection and take it with you to your appointment.

Answer

I'd call. My BP was 130s/90s today and they were concerned. I already had an induction scheduled for morning, but if I hadn't, sounds like they would've scheduled me.

Answer

That’s like right on the borderline. I’d just call
