16 week check up (at 17 wks) blood pressure 136 /88

[K80]

Should I be concerned about this bp reading? I've never ever before had high bp. And midwife today wasn't that nice

It depends on age an ideal bp is your age plus 100 or under so if your 25 then 125 & under is fine! Anything below 90 is considered low bp also!

Hope this helps!

Sorry you had a crap midwife some are not great ive had my fair share!

Sorry I'm stalking Tri 2 as nothing much going on in Tri 1 tonight!
Your BP is normal babes. I'm a nurse and I worked in a hypertension clinic many years ago - they should actually take it three times (but never do) as you relax a bit more each time it's taken, it would probably have gone down even more, but still normal as it is.x

My last midwife appointment my blood pressure was 135/90 i was slightly worried but midwife said it was fine, i was shocked yesterday when it was taken it was 132/74. Iv never known my blood pressure to be so low, i was so pleased, iv had pre-eclampsia in my previous 3 pregnancies resulting in 2 of my babies being delivered early (30 weeks & 32 weeks) with my last pregnancy my blood pressure went up too 174/119 and i was rushed straight to theatre.
If im remembering it right a slightly high bp is between 140/90 and 149/99
moderatly high bp is between 150/100 and 159/109
and severly high is over 160/110
Im sure thats what i was told last time
