I could also use some vibes.

I went in for an appointment at my midwives yesterday and my blood pressure was elevated.  I didn't have any protein in my urine and this is my first elevated blood pressure read, but they are worried about it nonetheless. I have to do a 24 hour urine collection on Sunday and go in for another check up Monday and an ultrasound.  I also need to monitor my blood pressure at home a few times a day.  Can I get some vibes that this is just a fluke and a random off day for me and everything goes back to normal. 

Re: I could also use some vibes.

  • Lots of vibes and love. I'm sure you can get it under control!
  • Definitely will do!  We want that baby in there a few more weeks at least.

    I know this may sound silly but did they check your BP after the appointment.  With Ava I had a huge family drama issue and when I went in for my appt it was elevated and she had asked had I been stressed.  Technically it was borderline but she waited until my appt was about over and rechecked and it had gone down a little bit....so that could be a possibility for you.

    None the less I hope that everything comes back normal for you!

    They did recheck it and it was still high.  I checked it again when I got home and it was lower.  Still high for me, but not considered high anymore.  Same thing when I checked this morning a little up from my normal, but not high.  I have had issues with blood pressure in the past, but weight loss helped lower it significantly and it has been a year or so since I have had such a high read so I have a cuff that I use to test occasionally at home.  I admittedly haven't been paying close enough attention to how much sodium I have been eating lately and I am sensitive to that.  I am hoping that getting my sodium intake back under control will help.

  • Hope it's just a fluke, I'll be thinking of you!

  • I certainly hope it's just an off day for you. Hopefully everything turns out ok. Vibes!!

  • Hang in there...i hope it's just a rare occurance but if it's not and your BP is a little high there is medication that you can take that is very safe while pregnant. I will pray for no protein. Good luck with your 24 hr urine collection (i hate those!) and keep us updated :) have a relaxing holiday!

  • Stay hydrated, reduce sodium, and get some rest. Hopefully it is not starting a trend of increasing. Just know that you can take meds to help reduce so you can go full term. If you have any questions about pre-e or pregnancy induced hypertension, just let me know.

  • Thanks everyone.  I appreciate all the vibes.  I have been monitoring it at home and it is starting to go down more toward normal.  Thanks also to Thor and Bucks for the advice since I know you both dealt with this during pregnancy.
