Scariest thing ever!
I've been battling pregnancy-induced hypertension and am on preeclampsia watch. I'm now having twice a week appts with my OB and high risk, weekly blood draws and weekly 24-hour urines.

Mine has been spiked and consistently stays in the 140's over 90's. Last week it was consistently in the 160's over high 90's and they finally put me on BP meds as I am only 17 weeks 5 days. My Dr is getting concerned as I have frequent headaches and vision changes so he wants to watch me closely but I am getting concerned as they still do not have my BP under control. I know I'm not as far as long as you but I would imagine yours would be of more concern if you get such high numbers again I would call up just to be safe.

No experience, but I am happy to pray for you tonight and tomorrow. And I hope you get an answer!

So right after I posted this, the tingling came back and my BP was 142/102. I'm laying down now and my pressures have gone down. I'm just going to call my doc to be on the safe side.

Thank you Carrimel! I'm really nervous. I've cried a lot today thinking about everything.

I think that would be your best course of action. The tingling and numbing is very alarming and cause for concern. Keep us updated when you are able.

Mine always spiked once a day, then went back to normal towards the end. It usually ran 140/95 which my doctors were ok with, but would go up to 160/110 for about an hour every afternoon. I can't even remember how many times they had me to in to the hospital and then released me in a few hours.
Finally when I did develop pre eclampsia, my BP rose to 220/180 and stayed high. I called an ambulance to get me in and was induced 3 days later (had to get steroid shots for my son's lungs to develop every 24 hrs).
I was told if top # reaches 160 or bottom # 110, go right in to the hospital. I was the same as you and had multiple doctors appointments, blood tests, and non-stress tests per week.

Just my baby aspirin.
My OB said to stay in bed until my appt tomorrow. As long as my pressures don't go over 140/90 while I'm resting - then I need to go to L&D. She said the tingling is a symptom of high BP.
Ugh, I'm feeling so defeated right now. She kept talking about delivering him early if we can't get these in check. I'm definitely having them write me out of work tomorrow. I'm so done with all of this - I just want a healthy term baby! I can't imagine having to leave him in the NICU! ?
