Quoting (37 Weeks): what is high blood pressure. i tried looking it up and got a hundred different answers.
if i remember right 120/80 is normal, so i would go from there... i've had to study all that crap with getting my nursing but i forget some things since i havent been working as a CNA in about a year..
-->Blood pressure is the force in the arteries when the heart beats (systolic pressure) and when the heart is atrest (diastolic pressure). It's measured in millimeters of mercury (mm Hg). High blood pressure (or -->hypertension -->) is defined in an adult as a blood pressure greater than or equal to 140 mm Hg systolic pressure or greater than or equal to 90 mm Hg diastolic pressure.

oh she wanted to know what high blood pressure was.. i read the question wrong.. i thought she meant what is high blood pressure as in numbers.. well i can tell that i need some sleep!!
Quoting (37 Weeks): so is 149/77 bad?
yeah that is high.. i got sent to L&D for something close to that.. i think mine was 139/82 or something like that.. they sent me there to be checked and when i got the hospital it never went up.. did they check you at a doctor appointment today or something and it was that high?
Quoting (37 Weeks): thats what it was at my last doc. appt and my mom told me it was high and i should watch it. i was just ... [snip!] ... tell me it was high if it was. i go again tomorrow and well see what it is if its close to that im going to ask them about it.
yeah i would ask them also.. just make sure that you take it easy and dont get stressed over anything.. dont get in a hurry or anything like that or it will make your blood pressure go up instead of down.. so just take it easy.. but ask tomorrow and see what they say.. everything should be fine though..
Quoting (37 Weeks): yea my mom keeps tellin me not to stress and gets all pissy with my bf when he makes me upset its funny. i would think the doctors would tell me if it was high or i should watch something.
yeah i know, im surprised that they didnt tell you.. it is fairly high.. the doctor had told my fiance' not to make me upset when my blood pressure got high.. i was 29 weeks when it first got high but it hasnt been since then.. so i dont know what the deal was.. lol
Quoting (37 Weeks): my doctors obviously suck. lol. i dont like them that much anyway. everytime i ever called with a question ... [snip!] ... er. that was there solution to everything. annoying. and they never tell me anything just ask if i have questions and say bye.
yeah my doctor was like that at first.. she didnt want to tell me anything.. she would measure my uterus and not tell me what it was measuring at unless i asked.. then when she would do the heartbeat she wouldnt tell me unless i asked also.. so i got tired of it one day and told her that i would like to know what is going on with my body and my baby without having to ask her everytime and from then on she would tell me everything that she was doing and everything that was going on.. maybe you should have a talk to your doctor and tell them that you have concerns and you feel like they are being very helpful..
Quoting Jackson's Mommy{35 weeks}:
Quoting (37 Weeks): theres never even a doctor when i go in. everytime theyre like well the only person available is the ... [snip!] ... ive seen her everytime except once i saw one doctor. so i never really go to pick a doctor. oo well guess shell be there.
yeah just make sure to ask her about it.. but everything should be fine hun.. good luck!!
