BP high

[tbab90]

I'm used to having blood pressure being 90/54..today it was 125/65 118/64 118/61... this isn't normal for me... I'm 27w3days and I need to know what is going on.. should I go to the emergency room or wait to see my doctor on Monday...

This is my second pregnancy, with my first I developed preeclampsia!!! That was also a twin pregnancy as well!!

That's nothing compared to mine! I'm 37 weeks and my pressure started being high last week! Went to the Dr yesterday and it was 156/101!! If I can recall! So they are sending me for a growth scan tomorrow so see if everything ok with the baby and if my pressure is still elevated, then they are going to admit me and induce!! Since 37 weeks is considered full term!

Yeah those bps you listed are in normal range so i wouldn't worry about it normal is around 120/80 I'm a medical assistant doctors will tell you that you are borderline high if your above 140/90 that means your at risk for other serious conditions and they will start treatment to lower it but you'd have to have more than just one or two high blood pressure ratings to pose a concern with your doctor and mrsmartinez is right your bp will get a little higher than normal during pregnancy bcuz your pumping more blood through your body at a faster rate bcuz now its also going in and out of your baby's body too and plus worrying about your bp being high will raise your bp so try not to worry about it too much :)

Mine is the same way and doc said its due to having 50% more blood pumping through your veins and that he wasn't worried unless it got too high but with those numbers u should be fine :)

the bp you listed are still in normal range. I've been told your bp gets a little higher with pregnancy. but if your that worried call a Dr.
