High blood pressure

[Babybump2012]

I was wanting to see if any one else had high blood pressure during pregnancy and taking med how did your pregnancy turn out?

Hi, I had high bp with my first pregnancy, I was put on methyldopa at 36 which made me so sleepy and tired. I was induced 4 days past my due date as my bp had gone very high again even with the meds, my daughter was born a day later via ventouse delivery as she was back to back. The only downside I would say to high bp is you may be confined to the bed so they can keep an eye on you, but my daughter was born perfectly healthy.

Thank you for letting me know about your pregnancy I'm 22weeks and have had hbp since the very beginning I was put on the same med as you yesterday I just dont know what I should expect in the next few months I have left.

Your bp my well stabilise for a while, but if it is high now could quite possibly shoot up before the end of your pregnancy in which case you may b induced early. Good luck!
