Hi,

I just saw this post and wanted to say that I was put on BP meds at 37 weeks as my BP although slightly high throughout my preg. skyrocketed at my 37 weeks appointment (180/100). Instead of putting me on meds straight away I was kept in hospital for 3 days on strict bed rest to bring it down (didn't happen) after 3 days I was given meds twice a day and it took roughly 24hours for it to stabilise. Luckily for me it stabilised enough for them to let me go home (mind you I went into labour on my own that night and had to go back!)

This time around I will be monitored more closely and rather than spend that time in the hospital, hopefully they will put me on the meds first.

I also had to keep taking the BP meds until my 6 week checkup just to be on the safe side.

Hope that helps.
