What do you consider elevated BP?

I've been watching mine pretty close because I'm really swollen.  Earlier in pg it ran about 115/70 and now it's consistently 125/80.  Is that even in the elevated range or is it pretty normal?  Dr isn't concerned unless it is 140/90, but I just wondered if it is a bad sign that it seems to be rising.

    That is normal.  Over 130 puts you in the watch category as far as non PG goes.  I don't know if it is different when you are pg.

    It is a totally normal bp for pg too. Most docs say not to worry unless you see a 20pt jump or more or get to the 140/90 threshold.

    That being said, I would voice your concerns to your doc about the swellling.

    You are still well within what's considered normal. Mine is usually about 115/75, and it's been closer to 120/80 this entire PG. It's very normal for it to go up some during PG, and the only concern is if it goes into the high range.
