What to do if blood pressure is high in pregnancy?
At my last checkup the reading was on higher side and now im a little tense. Im 28 weeks and planning to go back to my gynac this week to discuss properly. Meanwhile just wanted to know what others did to manage it, did diet help?
My gynac said cut down salt, rest more on your left side, and never miss the prescribed BP medicine and checkups. She told me to monitor BP at home and report any spike. The key thing is regular doctor follow up, dont manage it alone.
Stay calm but act on it, beta. Rest, reduce salt, and call your doctor today, not later. High BP is very manageable when the gynac is watching it closely, so dont skip a single appointment.
Please take this seriously, high BP in pregnancy needs the doctor right away, dont wait. I had it and they monitored me closely, it can affect you and the baby. If you also have headache, blurred vision or swelling, go to hospital immediately.
