3rd Trimester

High Blood Pressure

Did anyone who had high blood pressure in the 3rd tri go until their due date or gate induced early?  I have had high blood pressure the last month and traces of protein in my urine.  I have gone for MULTIPLE blood tests and did a 24 hour urine sample yesterday.  I am about 35 weeks and I am just wondering what I should expect.

Re: High Blood Pressure

  • My BP was elevated almost entire third trimester.  I was monitored by a specialist and went to 41 weeks.  At that point I asked for an induction.  I had a few trips to L&D, but always stabilized and was able to go to 41 weeks.

  • I had high bp during third tri of my first pregnancy. Is your dr perscribing meds? I was put on Aldomet and it kept my bp under control until I delivered, 1 day past my due date.

  • I have borderline high bp and protein in my urine.  My dr diagnosed me with mild pre e and I have been on MBR for 5 weeks.  I am going to be induced Monday which will put me just over 39 weeks

  • I've had high BP since second tri. I've been on meds since then also which has kept it pretty stable. I've been tested several times for pre-e but always negative. I'm 39 weeks 2 days now, as long as my BP continues to be stable they won't induce before 41 weeks (usually they would induce at 42). At my appointment on Wednesday I was already dilated to 5 and almost 100% effaced so I'm hoping the induction won't be necessary!
