Slighty High BP?

edited April 2011 in Health
Hey Ladies,
Does anyone else have slightly elevated bp? When it was checked yesterday it was 130/90. She's not overly concerned but placed me as high risk because of this. As I consistently had high bp since 12 weeks. It's kind of freaking me out which isn't helping.

Any and all comments appreciated!
Thanks girls.

  • I am currently on high risk as well due to bp mine is always 140/89+. they should be running test to make sure your not preclamsyia i think that's how you spell it l0l my doctors are still doin test i have to have a kidney ultrasound soon goodluck and try to relax as much as possible...this is my first so i was kinda scared too and atleast i get to see my LO more often.
  • I have the opposite.. my blood pressure is very low..85/45. I keep thinking it will go up, but it hasn't.. next week I start weekly non stress tests..
  • I have slightly high bp as well. Im 21 weeks but the dr says as long as it doesn't get any higher i will be ok. Just have to monitor it.
  • dont worry to much about it your bp goes up when you are pregnant you doctor will keep monitoring you to make sure it doesnt get out of control. just be careful of your salt and caffeine intake.
  • Make sure someone of oppsite sex takes ir
  • Yes mine is borderline...so they're keeping an eye on it...I did a 24 hour urine early on to find out my protein baseline that way if it goes up they know if I'm preeclamptic.
  • @caitiecakes yeah they made me do the 24 urine as well....good luck with everything
  • Mine is always between 130/70 and 140/80. Doctor told me it was normal with pregnancy.
  • Thanks guys! I've done the 24 hour and there was no protein in my urine, and there has never been any at monthly checkups. I'm also terrified of going to the doc so I think it could also be nerves ....who knows!

  • Wow I had no idea about the bp. Mine has been around 140/86
  • My bp is confusing cause my top number is usually on the higher side around 135 -145 and my bottom number is usually low in the 60s but yet they put me on bp medicine even tho it was like that before I got pregnant too so its normal for me
