3rd Trimester

What's your blood pressure situation?

So today I've been having blurry vision - not really bad - but I can notice it.  My BP usually runs pretty low (about 118/80). 

 

I had the school nurse take my blood pressure and it was 136/88.  I go to the doc tomorrow -  so I'll ask him about this. 

 

As you got further in your pregnancy, did you see big changes in your blood pressure?

Re: What's your blood pressure situation?

  • I would call your doctor today - like now.

    BP is not something to mess aroudn with, esp if you are having vision changes.

    Ditto, any kind of changes in your BP I'd call right now.

  • There has been no change in mine, it's stayed low and actually too low (like 106/55) for this far along, it's caused fainting and some circulation issues.

  • I would call your doctor. Blurred vision and spikes in bp are signs of pre-e. It can't hurt to just go and do a urine culture.

     I've had a spike in my bp lately and it makes me super nervous...better safe than sorry.

  • My BP has always been consistent, with both my pregnancies. BP isn't something to mess with so I would call now if you're seeing changes and not feeling well.

  • I'm not quite as far along, but my BP so far has been 118/68 on the dot at almost every appointment so far. I agree with PP, go ahead and call your doctor. Hopefully it'll be a fluke, and you won't have to worry about it!

  • Mine has been really low this whole pregnancy, I've seen it as low as 95/71. Because of that I've had problems with dizziness etc... I did have one appt where it was 140/88 and they had to retake it a few times before it went down but I'd been trying to handle DD who was scting up in the waiting room that day so I'm sure that was the cause of it.  I'd probably call the Dr  if I got a high reading like that, just to be safe.

    Why do I never get these memos? I could have been fainting. Damn it. Mine's been around 106/60 the whole time (with the exception of one appointment where is was 120/84, but traffic sucked, I was late, and something else was going on).

    The much of a change and vision changes I would be calling.

     

    Yeah, what the hell Dodge why aren't you passing out?  We are all exactally the same so I expect you to start fainting!

    Can I just take a short nap and call it fainting?

     

    Sure.  Naps are way better anyway, fainting sucks.

  • I agree with PP call your doctor, vision changes and high BP are no bueno.

    I am currently on bedrest for high BP and protien in my urine - doing a 24 hour urine collection for my appt tomorrow!

  • I would be concerned about the vision changes and change in BP, but if I had an appt tomorrow I would probably wait but that's just stubborn ol' me. My BP has been really low (normal for me) this whole pg (like, 90s over 50s) and my MW and Dr. have been happy with that (it doesn't cause me light-headedness or anything). But the last couple of times I've had my BP checked (in the past two weeks, and not by my MW) my BPs been 110/65ish. Still nice and low.... but a jump from before. I have a MW appt tomorrow and am concerned about what she'll think (if it's still higher then). I'm hoping she says it's normal for BP to go up (within a normal range) as pg progresses.

  • mine has been about 100/58 for months; doctors are happy about it.

    I would have your BP checked again...sometimes you can get a false reading...

  • With my first pregnancy my blood pressure kept getting higher and high, to the point where I felt like I was literally going to pop. The day I felt like that I was put on bedrest. Definitely call. The amazing part was as soon as I delivered ds my blood pressure went right back to normal.
