Pregnant after 35

Should I call the dr?

I have a terrible headache and I get very dizzy when I stand up. I just checked my bp it was 141 66. Should I call my doctor or is that normal? I am 10 wks pregnant with baby 4 and am 36 years old.

Re: Should I call the dr?

  • I would call the doctor. They are there for a reason and have heard it all. They expect it. Hope it's nothing but it's nice to hear it from them. Plus, they can keep track of everything.

  • I would call.  My SIL had eclampsia about 24 weeks pg and her only symptom was a blinding headache.  My nephew was delivered at 24 weeks.  Let your Dr. see you and decide whether this symptom is important for you right now.

  • CALL YOUR DOCTOR.

    If your doctor does not get back to you, go to the emergency room. You are hypertensive and symptomatic (i.e. the dizziness means that your body is NOT used to running up that high for blood pressure).

    And let us know how
