For almost two weeks now I’ve been fighting with my first ever dealings with high blood pressure. I wore the halter monitor and I’ve spent lots of hours hanging out at the dr. office and hospital for NST’s. Saturday my bp was 143/101 and the hospital dr. let me go home but warned me my dr. will probably want to induce me when I go in to see him today. I’m. so. nervous. now. 😆🤦🏼♀️😬!!!!!!!!!

@halifax6, I didn’t like it at all lol. I felt like I was going to die for sure. It’s worse though because you don’t die!!! I know that’s why I’m so scared now, because I remember how it felt last time. I’ll keep you posted you’re awesome.

@halifax6, it’s so hard to judge when is too soon/too late! Last time I waited too long and wasn’t able to get the epi, my husband’s ex got it too early and it stalled out her labor causing her to have to get a c-section! I’m hoping and praying for a smooth sailing delivery lol. Thank you very much for taking the time to share your experience with me, it REALLY means a lot!

@kristalaverne87 you'll do great! my only suggestion, since you have high BP, is that if you want the epidural, get it before the pain gets too bad and your BP spikes. When I had mine, the pain (and preeclampsia) made my BP spike about 28 hrs into my cervical ripening (lol silly term) and then I got put on magnesium sulfate, which counteracts with the pioticn. No need to worry :] just if you want it, get it before it gets to be too painful. I had a horribly mean nurse who was a huge jerk about the pain I said I was in to the point where I delayed getting the epidural and accepting pain meds that the Dr told me to take/offered cause she told me "it's too early in the process" like half a dozen times so I tried to push through, but then like I said my BP spiked. Lol :] I'm excited for you! Little one is almost here!

I had issues with my high BP, too. I hope yours is lower today! You'll do great, if you end up getting induced :]
