High Blood Pressure?

Have any of you had high blood pressure during your pregnancy? What happened with your pregnancy if it was a previous pregnancy? What is your doctor's plan, if you are dealing with it this pregnancy?

I am still in the normal range, but diastolic is borderline... And I just really don't want an issue with this.

Re: High Blood Pressure?

  • They will watch for preeclampsia. I was induced when baby was full term last time. This time they have me on baby aspirin to help prevent it. Maybe ask about that if they're worried

  • I have been on baby aspirin since 12 weeks, because I did IVF. It might be white coat syndrome, because I get very nervous every time they take my blood pressure... The doctor has had me start taking blood pressure at home, and it is fine so far. 🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽

    Did induction suck?
  • I’ve had some high blood pressure readings along with some other symptoms so they are planning to induce me around 37 weeks. I was also diagnosed with diabetes so that’s a huge factor in all of this. 
    They gave me an at home monitor and my readings have been a lot lower. I’ve found if I really take it easy and rest, my numbers are better.
