35 Weeks Prego..high Blood Pressure In Hospital
Posted: 08-15-06 20:22pm

Hey ladies. Yesterday I went for my usual appointment at the doctors office, and he checked my blood pressure several times and it was high and baby's heart beat wasnt normal. So he sent me to the hospital for a non stress test and blood test. The lady said everything was fine and dandy. Just suppose to come in again if I have heartburn. So yah, that was my day :p it was scary. They said just to take it easy cuz I havent changed my diet or anything. But will this affect my labour or anything? Not really sure why blood pressure going up is bad I mean I know its not a good thing in general, but in pregnancy wat can happen?

Did they let you relax before they took you back? Where I went, they always made you sit waiting for about 10-15 mins. To let your blood pressure stabalize from having to carry such a large load.

Even if something were to arrise, your angel can survive at 35 weeks if they were to need to deliver.

I hope everything gets better!! Just try to relax. I know it's hard knowing that your baby is almost here!!!!

Yea, mine went up to 140 over 90 towards the end. I only made it to 37 weeks though.

I'm sure you and your angel will be fine!!!


Congrats on the house!
