What was your blood pressure when they started getting concerned?

Question

So at my regular 36 week checkup my BP was 137/80 and they seemed concerned, so now I have to do a 24 hour collection etc what was yours when they started getting concerned. I know it’s elevated but its not too high imo

Answer

Mine was like 145/94 they immediately switched me to weekly appointments (33 weeks) and scheduled weekly NST & BPPs (bio physical USs). My doctor had been watching it closely and I was told to expect baby by 37 weeks at the latest. But that any time after that appointment they might want him out. I’m 37 tomorrow and have an appointment so I’m guessing they’re planning an induction unless they’re drastically back to normal although they’ve been okay the past few weeks and I haven’t had protein in my urine. But I have had some swelling and a killer headache (for over a month— it doesn’t subside) but he’s passed all BPPs and NSTs so it’s up in the air

Answer

I had this at my 34 week checkup.  They are checking for protien to see if you have preeclampsia.  I had high BP and protien in my 24 hour sample but my BP regulated so now they are just monitoring me.

Answer

At my very first appointment my blood pressure was 140s/80s and I had to get labs and a 24 hour urine for a baseline and that was at like 11 weeks. All was good until 25 weeks when my BP was 130/105 in the office, had to start weekly NSTs and labs and BPPs if my BP was over 140s/90s. 34+3 today and all has been well since 25 weeks until today when my BP was 150/80 at home so I went in and did labs, NST, and BPP. My little man is still looking wonderful in there! I’m hoping I’m not trying to get pre-eclamptic, but we start twice weekly NSTs now! Praying I can stay okay so he can cook a little while longer. A couple of weeks ago we had talked about induction at 39 weeks, but I’m sure those plans are about to change 😬
