High-Risk Pregnancy
Options

May be joining you...

I had an doc appointment yesterday where the major topic of conversation was about my blood pressure. A few years ago, I had some high readings, and after losing about 10 pounds and going on the DASH diet it went away... apparently now pregnancy is trying to bring it back. Dr strongly suggested that I do as much as I can to get ready for LO this trimester, because worst case scenario, I'll end up on bed rest towards the end. Insert major freak out here. Even if we don't get to that point, if it keeps creeping up we'll probably have to talk about meds at my next appointment. She suggested I start a magnesium supplement and also continue a good diet, so I'm going to do that. I guess I'm also officially "high risk" now. 

 

Anyone have good suggestions for bringing BP down naturally? I would like to avoid meds or bed rest as long as possible if not entirely.
