17-12-2009 - High Blood Pressure

My mood while writing this blog:
Nervous

Well Ladies I went for my 2 week check up yesterday and my blood pressure was 150/90 which is pretty HIGH.. My Dr was a lil worried about it and I have gained 10 pounds in less than 2 weeks and he said that I am very SWOLLEN!!

Now I have to go back on the 28th to make sure that my blood pressure has gone down!! I am a little nervos but am sure everything will be ok.. I am watching all my SALT intake!!

That happen to me.. you may have preclampsia i had preclampsia and i had my son 6 weeks early...do you see spots? do you get dizzy? if you do make sure you tell your doc dont lie because you and your baby can get sick... good luck

Hey hun I saw your blog on all the blog updates. I had HBP during my pregnancy with my son. I see that you are in week 28 and thats around the same time my BP started getting high. I was never diagnoised with Preencamlpsyia, but it was VERY frustrating goin to the doctor every week and making sure the baby and I am ok. Just worried alot. I guess what I am trying to say is don't worry too much because that tends to bring up your BP even more. Just watch what you eat and try to eat alot of green veggies and some fruits. I noticed that when i did that my BP would stay the same or it would get lower. Now my son is 12 months old and my BP is still higher then normal. Never ends...lol Enjoy your pregnancy! :)

This is what happened to me (read my "Dr Apointment" blog). I have to go back on the 23rd. Dr. also said I have swelling (8-10 pounds) in my legs.

Good luck! I'm sure if you watch your salt intake and drink lots of water you should be fine :o)

hey good luck with that...whatever the doctor tells you to do, make sure you do it because let me tell you. I learned the hard way. I started off with high bp at 30 wks and delivered my son at 34 b/c of damn preeclampsia...but difference with me is that b/c of it, my son had stopped growing since 32 weeks.....it sucked....he told me to go on bedrest, did i listen??? no!!! so listen to what he says, you'll be fine!
