Listen to your doctor please. At 22 weeks mine started to climb my doc gave me pills to control it. I was skeptical I didn't take them for about 2 weeks. I finally I took them. After I developed preeclampsia at 25 weeks. I went to the doc because I didn't feel the baby move as much as she usually did. Got sent to labor and delivery. I was in the hospital for 9 days and on the 6th she passed away. Don't play  with that it is very dangerous. Good luck with your pregnancy and listen to your doc. She was my first.

Hello my mother had trouble with her bp during her pregnancy. I know that meds can be scary during pregnancy but talk to your ob he knows best what is safe for you & the baby. Get lots of rest & stay cool the hotter your body is the higher your bp goes up & find out if bp is high because your retaining fluids, you will have to cut out salt completely. My bp goes out of control when I take vitamin b-12 check into your prenatal vitamin maybe that is the cause, b-12 is great if you're low in energy but not if you have uncontrolled high bp. Good luck and please keep me posted.
