Ladies, if you had high blood pressure in your pregnancy can you tell me what was the reason for it?
jess asked:
I’m in my 1st pregnancy and earlier i saw some questions about high blood pressure, and would like to know what are reasons that it might go up. If you had high blood pressure do you know why you had it? If so why? Thanks.

I had high blood pressure, it was pregnancy induced hypertension (it basically means the pregnancy caused it). Then it developed into preeclampsia and the preeclampsia kept my blood pressure very high. I ate healthy, exercised regularly, avoided salt, stayed well hydrated, and I still got the high blood pressure during pregnancy. Pregnancy can do some weird things to your body sometimes. It can also be a genetics thing as well. All the women on my dads family have suffered from pregnancy induced hypertension or preeclampsia whenever they were pregnant. Sure enough I was one of the lucky ones as well.

I don’t have high BP but there are a few causes. Stress, high sodium intake, high BP pre-pregnancy, family history, immune disorder, biochemical factors, diabetes, or just the pregnancy its self. The list goes on. Sometimes it just happens.

Create a video blog…instantly.
Never had high bp till the very end of both my pregnancies – pre-eclampsia and bed rest in the final month, they said. I was also in my 30s. After the first birth, my bp went down and stayed normal without medication. After the second birth 4 years later, bp stayed up and I’ve been on low dose medication since.

My blood pressure was fine through my Pregnancy with my Daughter. Then I started having breathing problems at 35 weeks and a burning in my upper tummy. I called the doctor and he dismissed it. My Husband got irritated and brought me to the E.R. The put me in the L&D section, my BP was 210/100. The Doctor was in my room in an 1/2 hour. I had developed severe pre-ecalmpsia. I was induced and she was born 18 hours later. My other pregnancies my BP was fine.
