Worried!

in 2nd Trimester

I am so worried about having high blood pressure...I noticed before i was pregnant that when the doc would check me sometimes it would be high and sometimes it was fine. At my last appointment it  was a little high and they said that they would have to keep an eye on that....and now I am hearing about preeclampsia from other people...Anyone else worried about this.

 I am 15 weeks and 28 years old...

    I had PreC when I was preg with my son. I noticed all the symptoms of high blood pressure so I went to Albertsons & checked it & found it was REALLY high. I agree with mullenem drink TONS of water, & cut back on salt as much as you can. Just read up on the symptoms so if it gets too high in between appointments you will know. You can always check it at the store too just to reassure yourself and help yourself not to worry. I hope you don't develop it & remain healthy throughout your pregnancy :)!

    Mine was elevated where they were considering putting me on meds if it didn't go down. Drink plenty of water, watch your salt intake, put your feet up when possible and try not to stress. Adding more fruits and veggies helps too.
