Hey every body
I saw the midwife on thursday and everything was fine except my blood pressure.. it was 270/88 (she couldnt get a correct reading so she told me to go streight to the maturnity unit to get it done properly.. when i got there it was 155/88 then 145/107 and 185/105 and that last one was the reason i ended up staying in for two nights.
Im now on tablets called methyldopa (to be taken 3times a day) and have to see any medical person to do my bp twice a week.
What im wondering is.. will i have to have my baby early? As i know high bp is bad but i dont know how bad mine is, My bp when i left the hosp was 133/70.
Any one had the same kind of thing?
Obviously i know ur not doctors but its just something thats niggling me.. i will of course ask the consultant next month.
Thank you in advance 🙂
Hope ur all well

Hi, I know it's easy to say, but try to relax as much as possible 🙂 I had a BP like yours at 19 weeks, and was gradually inched along till 34 weeks, when I was induced. But everyone is different, and your medication may keep yours under control much longer. If you are working, you may need to consider stopping a little earlier than planned, but I would say the main things are to relax, make sure you go for regular monitoring and take the prescribed medication. Lots of luck with your pregnancy - and do your best to enjoy it 🙂
Where u on any medication? In a way id like to have our baby early because it would be less worry but on the other hand im worried something will happen to him. Its so confusing., Tbh atm im not enjoying pregnancy as all i can think of it this damn bp. I cant wait to meet him but also cant help worrying. 🙁 xx
