Blood pressure

I’m 34 weeks today. Bp in office was 130/78 and then I took it again before bed and it’s 130/88. Should I be concerned?

The recommendation is to keep the base number below 90. It’s close but nothing some blood pressure tincture can’t help. 🤍

with taking blood pressures at different times of the day it is going to vary. it will also vary depending on what you were doing right before taking it. it is close to being 90, so I'd mention it to your OB, especially if they're trying to keep an eye on it. the other thing to keep in mind is that even just taking blood pressures on the opposite arms can make it vary alot as well. 😌 are they concerned for pre-eclampsia?

At 30 weeks, my dr started to notice my blood pressure rising, by 33+4 I was admitted into labor and delivery to be monitored due to severe hypertension. My blood pressure was 140/98. That night I was induced. At 34 wks on the dot I had my daughter. Please please advocate for yourself if you don’t feel right and you notice it rising further.

@Rayanne no they weren’t considered at all at my appointment
