What do you think about my blood pressure reading?

Question

I am 29+5 pregnant and I've had a headache today and have had a hard time catching my breath the last couple of days. I've noticed vision changes too but that's been going on since the beginning of my pregnancy. I took my BP on the machine at Walmart and the pharmacist says it's nothing to worry about. What do you ladies think?

Answer

You’re perfectly fine! That computer shouldn’t be telling you that your BP is high at all

Answer

That’s a very normal blood pressure. High is anything higher than 130 for the top number and anything over 85 for the bottom number.

Answer

Definitely normal. My doctor wasn't even concerned yet when my BP was at 135/81. It was 148/92 when she started getting concerned. I ended up getting induced when my BP went up to 160/90-something (I was 38 weeks).

Answer

I’m usually 127 over 60 or 118 over 70 and my doctors say that I look great. Your blood pressure goes up with your pregnant and rises it a bit as you get even further along. You have like so much more blood in fluid it has to compensate by beating harder and more frequently
