Blood pressure ?

Did any of you ladies have an increase in your blood pressure right before you delivered or went into labor? I'm due in 11 days & have had an increase in my blood pressure recently...could that mean anything?

Thank you ladies! :) And what exactly is pre hypertension? Is it bad? What causes it?

Looks like pre hypertension. If it gets any higher you may be given meds and if elevated during labor they'll give you IV meds. You shouldn't be to concerned if your Dr wasn't.

My blood pressure was always high at the end of my pregnancies. I was always scheduled for an induction. Only once did I go into labor on my own and it was the day before my induction date.

It's common in last trimester for it to elevate.
