My bp was a little on the higher side at my last checkup and now im a bit worried. Doc said to monitor but didnt explain much. Can someone tell how it actually affects the baccha and the pregnancy?
I had borderline high BP in my third trimester, and my doctor kept me on mild medication and strict rest. It is very important to get it checked because it can affect the placenta. Just follow what your doctor advises.
High BP can be risky for the delivery, so you have to be careful with salt and stress. Get a simple BP monitor for home, it is not very expensive and keeps you stress-free. Please check with your doctor regularly.
My MIL kept telling me to drink nimbu pani without salt to lower my BP, but when we checked, it was quite high. My gynac strictly told me that home remedies are not enough for high BP and prescribed safe meds. Please get yours checked immediately.
You can get your BP checked cheaply at any local pharmacy nearby rather than paying doctor clinic fees every time. But if it is constantly high, don't delay, go to your gynac. Controlling it early saves you from expensive hospital emergencies later.
BP is something you shouldn't ignore because high BP can lead to complications like preeclampsia, which affects baby's growth. I kept a digital BP monitor at home to save time and checked weekly. Please keep your gynac in the loop.
Beta, blood pressure needs very careful attention during these months. You can have a little garlic or drink coconut water to keep the body cool, but do not ignore it. Please visit your doctor and get your BP checked regularly.
