[quote=Anonymous][quote=jindc][quote=Anonymous][quote=jindc]hm I've never been told to lie on my left side and relax - I take it on the dr's office bed thingy every time. What is considered high if 140/90 isn't the standard some of you are using here? I think last time I went my BP was 131/73. also, can't change practices at 36 weeks. Any doctor on call will deliver me, though - it's GW. [/quote] 131/73 is actually relatively high. At that BP my docs were having me rest periodically on my left side during the day and eventually bedders when it got around 135/80-something. Especially if it is on an upward trend, your doc is correct to keep an eye on it. [/quote] but it's not any higher than it had been previously, which is why I'm wondering if there isn't an upward trend, why it is a sudden discussion of induction. It's regularly been, as I can remember, in the 120s-low 130s, and when I got a higher reading she said that the lower number was what was important and if it got to 90 that would be a concern. If it had regularly been in this range, why wasn't it brought up before so I could have extra monitoring or whatnot? I'm just confused, I guess. It wasn't really explained to me why it automatically meant we should discuss induction at my next appointment, etc. [/quote] Is she going out of town after the induction date she wishes to discuss? They do like to deliver you themselves - that's how they get paid. If another doc in the practice delivers, guess what? well, you guessed it. [/quote]
