My bp is between 132/70 and 160/90 for the last several hours, I am doing the 24 hour observation at thehhospital and they wont tell me ifI have ppreeclampsia or if I may have something else wrong.. I am 36 weeks pregnant with baby #2 and am getting more and more worried but baby seems to be just fine and is moving okay and everything.. anyone else have high bp and traces of protein in there 3rd tri and not end up having preeclampsia or know someone who has?

    First, try to take some deep breaths and meditate. I know it's hard to hear but freaking out will dramatically raise your BP. I am an RN and have patients regularly before surgery have their BP skyrocket due to stress. Also it will be slightly elevated if your legs are crossed, if your in pain, if you have to pee, or if your chatting during it being taken. If you have pre-eclampsia or not, you don't want it sky rocketing due to stress. Trust in your doctor's, they are following you to diagnose you and take care of you and the baby :)

    The docs took my urin over 24 hours and tested it and said my protein levels wer only at 140 so Its not quite preeclampsia but my bp is still pretty high so they just sent me home with orders to stay on bedrest and check upwith my ob ttomarrow. . They gave me a hydro for my headache because the tylonal wasnt working but my headache is still bad and just feels like it is slowly getting worse...
