I went for my 37 week appt today and after waiting with my 2 year old daughter for over an hour I was finally seen only to be told that my BP was high 140/90. I had spent the hour in the waiting room chasing my DD who has decided to turn into a crazy little monster lately. I told the Dr that I thought it was just stress and I haven't had any probs with BP at any other time this PG. She told me that I hae to take BP medication and that it is safe for me and the baby, but I checked and it says not to take it if pregnant and that it is for treating SEVERE and CHRONIC bp. I don't feel that I have either.
I was proud of myself for not having any medical problems this time around but know I feel like I have let myself and my baby down. Should I take the pills or should I wait and see what my BP is next week??
