[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had that issue with both pregnancy, though like a PP I also have white coat hypertension in pregnancy (I know what they're looking for which makes me anxious / raises BP in a nasty feedback loop).

Anyway, definitely had high readings - think it was even in the 140s/? a few times, but never developed any complications and had both kids spontaneously at 40w and 40w6days - no issues with either baby.

I will say that one thing I did was to take my BP at home / at the drop in spot in the CVS, where it was always in the normal range, which eased my concerns about the high readings at the Dr's office.[/quote]

I had a similar experience -- elevated bps in the 3rd tri with 1st 2 pregnancies. Also have white coat hypertension. My ob was fine with readings on my own several times a week (all normal outside of the dr's office) given that my urine was always perfect and no swelling, headaches, or vision changes. Delivered after natural labor started after my due date. FWIW my bp was perfect in the hospital while I was preoccupied with unmediated contractions going on to distract me. [/quote]
