I've had high bp since 30 weeks. Highest it's gotten is 160/100. But it went down a bit after I relaxed. On average mine is usually about 140/90. Also have slight protein in my urine. I'm not 39+1 and I've been okay. They haven't needed to induce me. If she isn't here by my due date though, they'll induce me just in case cause it's been back and forth. They won't let me go a week or two over like usual.

Ya I was just reading about that! Hopefully it doesn't as I'm only 30 weeks... Thanks

If it turns into preeclampsia (which is very dangerous) they will have to induce.
