hi ladies..had routine check up today....blood pressure was 128/78  .....slightly elevated....nothing insane....but obv everything gets me concerned.....however doc didn't really blink an eye and said she doesn't start to worry unless it's at 140/90.

does this # sound high to any of you and any ways i can naturally reduce my bp on my own a bit?   thx so much!!!

    Make sure you stay well hydrated and are truly getting rest.  Like "lay down with your feet elevated" rest.  Good luck!

    Sounds fine to me. Cut out sodium, drink lots of water and rest as much as possible.

    Mine's normally 115/70 but it has been around 130/85 this whole pregnacy. They aren't worried about it, yeah it's a little elevated, but it's been steady, and it's not super high. You sound fine to me! Drink lots of water!

    that is fine.  My OB's didn't worry unless I got to 90 (bottom number)...

    lower salt, caffiene, and you'll be fine.

    my bp actually went too low b/c i was avoiding salt and caffiene - and i had to add it back into my diet b/c i kept getting dizzy... which was a shock since my first pg with one child I had high bp.

    I used to be Goldie_locks_5 but the new nest is so screwed up that I was forced to start over.

    correct me if i'm wrong but i don't think they get to concerned unless you are 20mmHg above your baseline. i don't blink my eye at bp's <160 but i also deal with the elderly population. they are far stricter for pregnancy, but i still think 128 isn't something to get too worried about. mine is always a bit higher bc they take it as soon as i've walked/waddled into the office (and they've weighed me!)
