Pregnancy Info HOME

Coda- Yup! Thats what they look at.. if you didn't have it before you got pregnant and do now. If its pre-existing.. then, you know its not pregnancy hypertention. Thats good!! I'm sure you will be just fine!! My parents have HORRIBLE blood pressure and take meds. yet none of us children do. My moms blood pressure is like 185/110. and even gets above 200. She isn't a big woman at all and doesn't look like she has any problems. Yet, she scares the crap out of doctors. Probably because she drinks a lot of coffee and she smokes. My father doesn't drink coffee, doesn't drink alcohol and doesn't smoke, yet he is also on meds. Oh, my mom also does take in a lot of salt. I dunno, I think just do the best you can with diet and exercise and then you can't say it was because of that, ya know! I used to have pretty low blood pressure. Until recently its normal now (which is high for me) but not for the doctors. Its been like 130/74 lately. Mine is usually 119/67 or so. Last week at my dr. apt my bp was at 160/90, so they took my blood and urine to check for protein and all came back normal and my bp also went down after about 20 minutes there. I said, it was probably high because I have this huge belly and I am huffing it up to the clinic. LOL... they laughed and said thats why they check you again later on.
