Blood pressure!

[roxanne]

Hello! I'm new so excuse me if i'm not posting this in the right section!

I'm 37 weeks pregnant and have had blood pressure of 150/85 for a couple of weeks now, but no other signs of pre-eclampsia. Have to see the midwife every two days and consultant every two weeks, but they don't seem to be able to decide what to do as my blood pressure is still borderline and i have no other symptoms... Anyone else have this problem? Was anyone induced or did you just have to be monitored closely for the last few weeks?

Thanks

I had it from 28 weeks. They monitored my bp evry 3 days then everyday then kept me in then induced me at 32 weeks. I got all the other symptoms gradually, but hypertension is scary even if if doesn't turn to pre-eclampsia.

At least they have picked up on it and you're nearly due. Try not to worry too much, easier said than done I know....but have some

oh and welcome, it's lovely here

I have high blood pressure but mine dropped in pregnancy...

The thing about blood pressure is it depends on what your baseline was on how concerned they would be but you are been closely monitored so will be able to act quickly if necessary
