Potential hypertension? Who the hell knows

I will be 37 weeks on Friday, and I had my FIRST elevated blood pressure reading at my weekly appointment today reading 130/90 which isn’t even too bad! They had me do blood work and urine and the tests that came back that could insinuate hypertension/preeclampsia were elevated. Just waiting on the doctor to call me as she said she would with abnormal results, but I already have an apt for this Friday to double check it anyways. Is a potential induction in my near future?! Thankfully I am alllll prepped, packed, and ready to go for any scenario to come, but holy crap!

Don't panic. Try to stay calm for you and baby. My pressure is slowly too. Doctors are monitoring.

With my first, mine started to be elevated towards the end.

To add, I had all the tests run too and I didn't have pre-eclampsia. I also didn't need to be induced early, spontaneous labor started at 39+3 (I did end in a c-section but that wasn't because of me. My son didn't tolerate labor well and went into distress).

Were you stressed at all before getting your blood pressure done? I wouldn’t worry yourself too much unless it becomes a pattern. One high blood pressure could be caused by many factors besides preeclampsia

@Sara for sure! And no I thankfully have been very relaxed, the blood work and urine came back and I have a higher amount of protein in my urine, and some blood levels associating with my liver are elevated so I’m just eager to hear from my OB on what it means/what the plan is going forward!

@Olivia oh okay. Hopefully you will hear back soon 🤞
