High BP??

Question

Almost 34 weeks and my BP has been hanging out 140s/90s.  Anyone having high BP? We’re just watching it right now & luckily my csection is scheduled for 37 weeks so not much longer but praying I make it to 37w

Answer

Yeah me iv had it since 21w been on medicine gets uped a dose each visit once my body gets used to it I’m now on 9 a day and it’s still at 185/90 I’m being induced in a week and half but got an app today iv started swelling so bad and pins and needles won’t go away. Today is my last app before induction so see what happens! I’m now 36w

Answer

Just went for my growth scan and I had slight elevated Bp they checked it 4 times and it was between 130-136/70. They sent me to get bloodwork done and I also have to do a 24 hour urine collection.

Answer

I’m high risk for chronic hypertension. I’m on labetalol 100mg twice a day and baby aspirin every day. So far my BP has been really good. Some days it’s 140s/90s but nothing to make my doctor concerned. I’m 35 weeks today and I’m scheduled to have my csection at 38 weeks to help prevent preeclampsia.

Answer

I went for my 37 week appointment Monday and mine was high. Last week and this week, they started using the automatic cuff which gives me anxiety that it will be high so I asked them to do it manually. Long story short, they are concerned about the recent rise even though the manual readings are marginally lower. I’m monitoring it at home and it’s been 125-130/84-88 at home. I have a c-section scheduled for May 1st but was told that they could induce after either of my last two appointments. I’m really hoping they will let me wait until the 1st since it’s lower when I monitor at home. If anyone has any experience with this, let me know!
