Blood Pressure 132/94 normal or too high? 39 weeks pregnant

Question

I am 39 weeks pregnant & my blood pressure reading was 132/94 i’m just curious on when i should be worried? & go to hospital to get checked. And if not now if it does go up anytime between now and my due date. Around what blood pressure reading do i need to go in to the hospital?

Answer

update, i waited around 15 minutes and relaxed it is now 131/74. i have been on my feet all day & just finally chilled out so maybe this is why it was up there. i know it is still a little high but my diastolic is lower.

Answer

Nurse here:  while the diastolic ( bottom number) is a little high, that is nothing to go to the ER about. ER Is for emergency’s, I’m not being mean I’m just saying. The ER is not a place for a pregnant woman right now. Sit down and kick your feet up and it should come down some. If not, just speak with your doctor tomorrow. But that’s not too terrible. Good luck :)

Answer

That 94 isn't normal for anyone who doesn't have hypertension. I would go in but it also wouldn't be a bad call to call the Emergency Room at the hospital you're delivering at and double check with the triage nurse.
