[quote=Anonymous]I had high readings in all 3 pregnancies (maxed out around 150/90 but typically a few points lower). They monitored me closely (never had any protein in urine) thru all 3 pregnancies. Induced at 37w b/c of BP with #1 (perfect, no NICU). #2 came spontaneously at 37w (perfect no NICU). #3 they stripped membranes at 39w b/c of BP to see if labor would start (it did), perfect baby no NICU. All vaginal no drug births. They put me on anti hypertensives after 3rd baby as pressure remained high & they were concerned. FWIW high BP totally runs in my family. As long as they are on top of it & you take it easy & are on the lookout for any symptoms you & baby should be fine. I had 24hr urine tests, non-stress tests, etc. Drink a lot of water & try to rest on your left as often as you can. Take it easy, stay calm. Good luck![/quote]
