My bp was slightly on the higher side at last checkup and now im a bit worried. Im in 6th month. Is it common for it to go up during pregnancy? sharing experiences would help.
Hey! Yeah, BP can totally act up during pregnancy, it's pretty common for it to fluctuate. My doctor kept a close watch on mine, like every visit. So just go for your checkups, tell your doc everything, and try not to stress too much about it, okay? You've got this!
My BP actually dipped a bit in early pregnancy, which made me feel dizzy sometimes. But later, it can increase for some women, which they call preeclampsia. My doc was always monitoring mine closely. It's just one of those things they check all the time.
Yes, BP can increase during pregnancy, and it's something that needs close monitoring because high BP can be serious. This is not something to take lightly or self-diagnose. You MUST discuss any concerns about your blood pressure with your gynac immediately.
Beta, some women do experience higher BP in pregnancy, yes. My nani used to say to drink kokum sharbat or lemon water, it helps to keep cool and maybe manage. But more than that, you must trust your doctor. They will tell you if anything is serious and what to do. Always take medicine only if doctor says.
BP changes can be a concern. Mine stayed normal, thankfully, even with all the morning sickness making me feel terrible. But yes, it's possible for BP to go up, and that needs careful monitoring. Make sure you attend all your appointments, and talk about any symptoms you feel.
Haan, sometimes BP can increase, especially in the later months. My mom used to make sure I rested a lot and ate light, healthy food. They checked my BP every time at the doctor's office. It's important to keep track of it.
Yes, your BP can definitely fluctuate during pregnancy. Mine was usually normal but sometimes it would go up a bit, especially when I was stressed. They check it at every appointment, so don't worry, your doctor will keep an eye on it. Just try to stay calm and hydrated.
