Please check with your doctor immediately if your BP is high. Anything above 140/90 needs medical attention.

I had to monitor my BP closely because of my history. If you see high readings, don't wait and contact your gynac immediately.

Namita Dhawan · Answer

Normally 140/90 mmHg or higher is high. Don't sit on this, get it checked by your gynac right away because BP issues can be serious in pregnancy.

Madhu Prabhu · Answer

Usually anything above 140/90 is considered high, dear. I had mild BP issues too, so please monitor it regularly and talk to your doctor immediately if it goes up.

Any reading consistently over 130/80 should be discussed, and 140/90 is definitely high. Your doctor is the best person to evaluate this and guide you safely.
