Just curious how far along and your most recent BP reading.

I checked mine as I had PE last time and 105/55 at 34 weeks. I'm usually around 125/70. Feel pretty dizzy/tired constantly so curious how normal this is and how it varies.

I was 119/60 at 36 week appointment. Yours isn't too far from normal but it's also normal to be dead on your feet at this point in pregnancy. At 16 weeks my GP was 85/45 I did feel shit then!

Raxacoricofallapatorius · 05/01/2016 18:13

Mine was always 80/50 in pregnancy. It's 96/66 usually.

Me624 · 05/01/2016 18:15

Mine has been 100/60 at every single appointment I've had since booking in. I'm 31+4. Yours sounds normal but if it's a drop from your usual levels it may be causing you problems. Has your iron been checked, you might be anaemic.

I'm 14 weeks today. Yesterday my dp was 135/100. At my booking in they took 4 readings all high. I'm starting on meds on friday... I feel unbelievably shit about it.

UptownFunk00 · 05/01/2016 18:53

That's frustrating so early frika but good to get it sorted now.

Just had a look! At 24 weeks it was 100/70-I'm 26 weeks now xx

AltCarbon · 05/01/2016 19:05

At the 12 week scan mine was 84/56 and it seems to be hovering just under the 90/60 mark now at 15 weeks. I've been monitoring mine though as it makes me dizzy. I do have a pregnancy-related DVT though so don't know if that affects it. Hope you feel better soon.

outputgap · 05/01/2016 19:17

I'm 27 weeks and it was 104/85 or something.

Up to now it's been about 90 something. I do feel rubbish!

Icklepickle101 · 05/01/2016 19:22

115/78 today at 36+5

I am on tablets for pre eclampsia/blood pressure though, after 149/106 at 29 weeks Sad

29 weeks - at my 25 week appointment it was 95/55 and it's been similar throughout.

ALR123 · 05/01/2016 23:14

39 weeks and it's the highest it's been for me... 105/80
It's consistently been 90/60 (apart from booking where it was 80/50)

bippitybopityboo · 05/01/2016 23:49

I'm 12 weeks and at my booking appointment it was 118/82 so she said it's a little high. It worrys me!

nehagarg · 06/01/2016 07:34

100/66 and 20 weeks. My pre and post pregnancy BP hasnt changed though.

Nicky333 · 06/01/2016 08:28

I'm 20 weeks and mine is very low. The midwife was worried about it at my first appointment until I explained that it's always been very low. It's not changed so far.

strangerjo · 06/01/2016 09:33

31wks 119/67 which is the highest it's ever been. It's normally very low so I'm very concerned.

Mermaid36 · 06/01/2016 16:38

I have essential hypertension anyway and am medicated.....of course, MW didn't realise this and freaked out when taking my BP at 8 weeks 150/85

I had to point out that this was actually low for me. Without medication, my BP is normally around 190/90 ish.....whoops!

strangerjo · 06/01/2016 16:54

I had my bp again today. 131/67 twice (very high for me) then dropped to 117/something then 108/sixty something. I've no idea what's going on with it.

frikadela01 · 06/01/2016 17:35

mermaid my consultant suspects my hypertrnsion may be preexisting. Not sure how it'll affect my pregnancy but I guess we'll see

Mermaid36 · 06/01/2016 17:51

I'm on a middling dose of Labetalol (sp?) and have been told there is room to up the dosage if required during pregnancy (I'm 11 weeks)

frikadela01 · 06/01/2016 17:53

That's what I'm starting on I think. Have to pick it up on friday. All a bit scary tbh.

Mermaid36 · 06/01/2016 18:05

Nah, it's fine! I've been on them for over a year now

insideout · 06/01/2016 18:18

madeline21 · 06/01/2016 18:42
