Hypertension

Katie
Anyone dealing with hypertension while pregnant? This was going on before I got pregnant. I'm on a low sodium diet but am starving all the time and feeling like I'm not getting a balanced diet. I'm currently 5weeks. Any tips or suggestions?

Yeah we are lol. I don't mind not using salt its more the processed foods I'm having a hard time with. I have actually lost like 8 or 9 lbs. It's a huge change for me cause I eat alot of breads and cheeses and stuff like that :( I found some good sounding recipes on Pinterest and I have been trying to find an app that you can track your sodium intake with no luck. When are you due?

I'm hypertensive too. But I didn't have it until I got pregnant. I'm on blood pressure medication twice a day, abs having migraines. It's awful, and I'm only 16 weeks! I hope you get feeling better soon!

I've been hypertensive since the preeclampsia with my first 5 years ago. I'm on medication so I find that my pressure stays decent but will spike a little with certain foods. High protein keeps me feeling full longer.

My bp has been constantly high. Checked it last week and it was 154/107 the next day it was 134/82 and the next day it was 117/74 and has been staying normal since. Should I be worried about the drastic drop?
