[quote=Anonymous]Try to relax some. Remember in terms of your mom's stillbirth that they were much more common before the level of prenatal care that we have now. Your typical BP is probably around what it was when you first started being monitored for pregnancy. Mine runs high - about 130/80 normally. Now at 33 weeks it's 122/70 (typical to be lower than normal in mid/late pregnancy I think, because of increased blood flow). You are nearly full-term. Your baby, in all likelihood, will be completely fine even if born today. No one is 'ready to deliver' when they get induced. That's what induction means :) You'll be fine. Really. At your next appointment, just ask your doc flat-out why she thinks you need to be worried about these things, and if they are real concerns. As I mentioned above, I'm heavy too (at 200 at 33 weeks, what 175 before - am fairly tall but still overweight) and had creeping up BP at the end of my last pregnancy. My sugar reading was 117. I've had no mention of any concern about anything from my doc. Sounds like you don't need to, either.[/quote]
