Triplets with pre exiting high blood pressure

Triplets with pre exiting high blood pressure

I am 34 and 6.5 week pregnant.  I just got to know that that i am expecting triplets.  I have a high blood pressure from last three years and taking pills for it.  I am concerned about the pregnancy.  Doctor told be it is very high risk pregnancy and referred me to a high risk doctor.  Anyone experienced with pre-exiting HBP and triplets?  Any recommendation?

I just wanted to say I wish you the best. I do know a girl who is about 12 wks preg with tirplets but no high blood pressure. I know she has to quit her job, go on bed rest at 24 wks and move to the city since we are 4 hours away until her pregnancy is complete because it is so high risk our smaller town hospital wont even monitor her. She already has a 2 year old so not sure how she will handle all this but Im sure she will figure that all out as needed. Good luck!

hi- congratulations on the triplets.  
i think having a pre-existing condition such as high blood pressure (bp) is not good to begin with when pg.  even women who are healthy but got pg in their mid to late 30s can have high bp due to pg.  my sis for one was healthy and was only pg with one, was never diagnosed with high bp but developed one during the later part of her pg b/c of her age.  she ended up giving an emergency birth to my nephew pre-maturely b/c of her high bp.  definitely stay on your meds, monitor your bp daily (and listen to your body).  you can help yourself by staying relax not stressing and eating healthy.  also listen to your doc's orders.  mind you... even if you do all of the above your bp still needs to be monitored closely.
good luck and enjoy having triplets... :)))
