[quote=Anonymous]I just went to my 34 week appointment and had a blood pressure reading of 130/80 (after a first reading of 135/85). Still waiting for urine test results, but my doctor was not particularly concerned. Said we'd keep an eye on it, but it was nothing to worry about as long as the numbers don't go too much higher. I should probably just listen to my doctor and relax, but I can't help being a little concerned. My baseline pre-pregnancy blood pressure isn't exactly super-low -- usually low 120s over low 80s -- so these numbers are pretty comparable. I've been around 110/70 through most of this pregnancy. Has anyone else had BP readings creep into the "pre-hypertension" range and come out without a pre-eclampsia diagnosis? Can blood pressure meds help at all with this sort of thing?[/quote]
