Took my blood pressure on both arms twice and those are the results 👆 I called the after hours answering service, but still waiting for a call back? Has anyone had high BP like this? Did your dr tell you to go in or just rest for a bit then take it again? Just curious. I'm trying not to freak out about it, but super anxious to hear back from my dr

Did you use a manual or electronic cuff?

Lay down and prop your feet up and put a cool wash cloth on your head

Electronic. My dr said since it was all over the place, it's probably something wrong with the cuff, but if I was concerned to go ahead to L&D. @single_ladi

I have chronic high blood pressure and it's been great during my pregnancy. When you get numbers that are high and seem scary always call your Dr, but remember to stay calm, drink tons of water, and rest. I cannot express how important water intake is while you have high blood pressure. Everyone's blood pressure numbers can be different, it just depends on what your normal range is. Before I became pregnant my normal was 150/100. It's mainly up to your OB and what they are comfortable with you being at. If you do have high blood pressure while pregnant it is treatable with safe medicine, and a change of diet. I am 24 weeks and have been doing great with the medicine they gave me. It seems scary but remember it is treatable. :)

Mine's usually been low, but since high blood pressure runs on both sides of my family, I get nervous sometimes @shelbyann

@laura_love, I completely understand it can be a scary thing. Make sure your machine has good batteries, that can affect it big time! If you have new batteries around change them. And make sure before you check it sit upright with your legs and arms down, and give yourself about 15-30 minutes of just sitting still and relaxing. That is how you can make sure you get the most accurate reading.

At the end mine was 150/100. It was due to my son being too big for my body when I would stand or sit up it would push him into my main Artery and cause my heart to work much harder to push my blood causing high BP

Well, my dr said a big sign was intense headaches. I have one, but it's not that bad @shelbyann

I wouldn't doubt if that were the case @californiahaley

@laura_love, You should really go to Labor and Delivery just to get checked out and make sure everything is okay. Everyone is different. And Preeclampsia is a big risk factor for you and your baby. Hospital will be able to get you sorted out and tell you what is going on. And it will give you peace of mind.

I thought preclampsia was only a big issue during your first pregnancy
