Re: Preeclampsia
Oh that's wonderful. My bp normally is: systolic in the 120's and diastolic in the 80's. At the very end of my pregnancies (when I'm tired and sore and having a hard time just getting in and out of chairs), the systolic will occasionally get as high as 130. Never concerned me because while nursing, I know that people who are the least bit stressed can have slightly raised bp's. But the trend now is that women go into the doctors and have their bp go up just a couple of points and they are diagnosed as pre-e and are scheduled an induction or straight to c/section. Since I do a lot of education with pregnant moms, it's something that I'm starting to provide a lot of information on.
