At my last checkup my BP was on the higher side and gynac told me to keep watching it. Im 30 weeks. I never had bp issues before pregnancy so kind of confused why it goes up now. anyone else had this in pregnancy?
Look, high BP is no joke during these months. Don't sit and ask online, just go to your gynac or emergency room right away. They need to monitor you closely to make sure both u and baby are safe.
High BP can happen due to placenta changes, stress, or even genetics, but it requires medical monitoring. Please call your gynac's clinic and report your readings. They might need to put you on safe BP meds to prevent any complications.
Please contact your doctor right now. I had severe preeclampsia and high BP is not something you can treat at home with remedies. Get your BP checked at a clinic today itself, it is very important for the baby's safety.
My private hospital has a 24/7 helpline for such issues, and I highly recommend you call yours right now. High blood pressure needs to be monitored by specialists to rule out preeclampsia. Ask your consultant or the head nurse directly about what steps to take next.
High BP during pregnancy is really risky, u should call your doctor immediately. If they suggest getting admitted or extra tests like urine protein, those can get expensive, so check if your insurance covers it. Don't ignore this to save on hospital bills, please.
