My bp came slightly high at last checkup and gynac told me to watch it. Im 28 weeks now and honestly a bit tensed. Apart from less salt is there anything that actually helped u ladies?
Please dont try to manage high BP on your own in pregnancy, it can be serious. I had BP issues and my doctor monitored it closely with regular visits. If you get headache, swelling or blurred vision, call your gynac immediately.
I know a high BP reading can make you so anxious, it did me too. What calmed me was sticking to my doctor's plan and not googling worst cases at 2 am. Trust your gynac and rest, you are doing fine.
Lifestyle helps a bit, less salt and good rest, but high BP in pregnancy really needs doctor supervision. Dont rely only on home tips for this one, it's too important.
My gynac told me low salt, enough rest, staying calm and never skipping checkups. She also said if it stays high she may add medicine, never to self decide. So I just followed her plan strictly.
