Im 26 weeks and my gynac said to keep an eye on bp. Just wondering at what stage it usually goes up for most ladies? Thoda tension ho raha hai honestly.
My mother-in-law told me to drink barley water to reduce swelling and body heat, but for BP high or low, we must only trust the gynac. Please visit your hospital once, they will check with the machine properly. Don't take tension, stay calm.
Honestly, my BP only went slightly up during my 8th month because of delivery stress, but I didn't take any risk. Gynac handled it and luckily it stayed normal after that. Just watch out for swelling in feet, that's what happened with me.
I kept my BP in check by doing light walks and staying happy throughout my pregnancy, which really helped me have a smooth normal delivery. But everyone's body is different, so if u feel even thoda dizzy, please consult your doctor. You'll do great, just stay positive!
Dekho, high BP in pregnancy is not something to ignore or ask on forums. If u have severe headaches or blurry vision, go to the clinic straight away. Let the doctor take a look, don't sit and guess at home.
My BP shot up thoda during labor, which is why doctor suggested an emergency C-section. Honestly, post-op recovery was thoda tough but completely worth it. Just keep checking your BP regularly so there are no surprises at the end.
Actually, high BP can happen after 20 weeks, which doctors call gestational hypertension. My doc told me if it goes above 140/90, it's serious and needs proper checking. Please keep a digital BP monitor at home and track it, and tell your gynac immediately.
