BP
Would this be considered high? I’m 39 weeks pregnant & my blood pressure tends to creep towards the end and I’ve been induced both times for it. I wasn’t diagnosed with preeclampsia they were just being safe by inducing me.
I’m hoping for a home birth this time round so I don’t want them to have another reason to want to induce me but also I want to be safe for me and baby. Should I keep monitoring it or contact triage today?
Feeling disheartened ☹️☹️☹️

Anything over 140/90 is considered high! But I would rest for half an hour and then do 3 readings! In that half hour just chill out don’t talk ect as that can make your bp fluctuate x
I had exactly this. I was also induced for both births due to mildly high bp fortunately both inductions were quite easy and had a quick and minimally painful experience. I would say eating and drinking also raises your blood pressure as it increases blood flow to your stomach. Sit nice and calmly for 30mins feet on the floor no talking
