My BP came slightly higher in last checkup and now im a bit tensed. Im 28 weeks. Just want to know what reading is considered too high so i know when to actually worry and call my gynac.
Oh dear, I totally understand how scary it is to see the BP numbers go up. Usually, doctors get concerned if it crosses 140/90. Please take a deep breath, rest, and call your doctor's clinic immediately to guide you.
Anything 140/90 or higher is considered high blood pressure during pregnancy and needs immediate medical attention. Keep a digital BP monitor at home and check regularly. If it's high, don't wait for your next appointment, call your doctor right away.
I am currently planning my pregnancy and was wondering about this too. Is it true that high BP can start suddenly in the second trimester, or do we have to monitor it from day one?
Dear, a normal BP is around 120/80. If your reading is consistently 140/90 or above, it is high and can be risky for both you and the baby. If you also have headaches, blurry vision, or sudden swelling in your feet, please go to the hospital immediately.
During my pregnancy, my BP shot up to 145/95 in the 8th month, and my doctor immediately put me on mild medication. Please don't ignore high readings. It is very important to get it checked by your gynac to keep you and baby safe.
I had to cut down on my favorite pickles and salty snacks because my BP touched 135/85 once! Gynac told me 140/90 is the danger line. If you are seeing high numbers, please talk to your doctor and watch your salt intake.
Having gone through IVF, I was extremely cautious about my health parameters. A BP of 140/90 or above is considered high and requires very careful monitoring by your doctor. Please reach out to your clinic so they can advise the safest next steps for you.
