getting pregnant high blood pressure

Let not left.

I take blood pressure medication. I had high blood pressure prior to getting pregnant but stopped taking my medication when I found out that i was pregnant until week 19. I ended up in the ER because it was too high. The dr prescribed medication then and I have been taking it every day since then. I am now 37 weeks 4 days and will be induced in 9 days. The medication has controlled it all of this time and I haven't had any problems with my blood pressure since taking the meds.

Hello girls, I'm a mother of one already and I had a smooth pregnancy my first time around. I'm currently 6 weeks pregnant now with high blood pressure omg I'm freaking. Anyone have suggestions on how to lower it???? Really worried....

Does anyone take medication for high blood pressure and is pregnant? If so, could you please tell me what you take and how successful it is? My dr. just prescribed me an ACE inhibitor that has a big ole warning about death to fetus. I am not pregnant, but my husband and I have been trying. We put our trying on hold for a few months, but would like to resume soon and we aren't super careful with protection now... leave it to God.

I had high blood pressure before I got pregnant. Mine went down after I got pregnant. Dr. Told me that as little stress possible, and taking walks to help keep it down. Try walking maybe? Or find a healthy way to relieve stress?

Im now 12wks and my doctor says my blood pressure is high. She put me on medication and have check it every morning. Is there any thing I can do to lower it? I know stress free no salt but any herbs ir foods that will help? Or anything u can think of?

I have high blood pressure. When I was pregnant with my first son over 5 years ago they put me on Labetalol. My blood pressure was actually better while I was pregnant. I have been on it ever since and am still on it during this pregnancy. They say there are just a few BP meds that are ok during pregnancy. Ask ur doctor about labetalol. U have to be on something obviously you can't go without that's not safe for you or the baby. Good luck to you.

I get high blood pressure when pregnant (this is my second pregnancy) it just happens. I'm fit and healthy and continue this during pregnancy and have hardly any salt in my diet.

I have a history of high blood pressure. I am also planning to conceive. Is it safe to go ahead?

You can try drinking water with fresh lemon every morning...that is a natural way to deal with high blood pressure...worked for me!!

I have high blood pressure and was put on meds after I had my second son, I am currently pregnant with baby #3 but I'm still on bp meds and it is under control but I also see my Dr. every 3 weeks instead of 4 weeks.

I had high blood pressure with my first pregnancy and I was watched by the doctor. My daughters were fine by the doctor did what she needed to make sure. Knowledge is power. I would suggest calling and making an appointment ASAP. It is better to go and be wrong then to do nothing. I will be praying for you.

Any other mommies have high blood pressure during pregnancy? I'm 26 weeks and have had high blood pressure my last three visits. What are your experiences? Did it eventually lead into preeclampsia?

I had high blood pressure and ended up having my son on the 4th and i was 31 weeks pregnant and my high blood pressure came out of no where. They couldn't get it under control so they had to do a c section. I had preeclampsia. But it very well could be nothing to worry about but try to not stress out and dont drink a lot of caffeine. But even though i had him early he is doing ok. Again I'm not tying to make you worry i just wanted to share my story.

I have never had that high blood pressure problem before. I dont have an appt next until next week should I be concerned? I just really dont feel too well.

Is anyone else experiencing High Blood Pressure? If so how are you treating it?

t get it and try not to stress it raises your blood pressure, did they put you on a blood pressure medicine to lower it?

My mother is in her late 70's with very high blood pressure (systolic pressure was at 250). She's getting tests done, but they don't seem to be timely or thorough enough. My mother is horrible with advocating for herself. Her PCP told her that she may just have to live with high blood pressure. Could this be true????I don't think they are treating it aggressively enough.

I had an appt. today as well as was told I had high blood pressure. I was 145/85 (I think the bottom number was 85, I could be wrong, but 145 top number for sure, stupid pregnancy brain) I was told I'm a bit swollen around my ankles and peed In a cup and my results came out negative for preeclampsia, thank goodness, but they want to check again on my next weekly appt. If I still have high blood pressure and possibly do blood results If I have a neg.

If you can, buy a home blood pressure monitor and keep track of it at home. It could have been a spike due to stress. If it stays a little higher, they may give you a med to help keep it down until baby comes.

So Thursday i went to the doctor i was told that my blood pressure was a little high, but i was just getting over a cold and my doctor said it could be because i was congested. So they rescheduled me for an appointment today, and when i went in my blood pressure was higher than it was on Thursday. And i ended up in the hospital being monitored for about 2 hours, because my ob want sure if he wanted to induce me or not.
