BP 172/99 - time to call someone?

[ubba82]

Amanda, I am so glad you made the call. I am sorry if I sounded harsh in my earlier post but I was worried for you. No hard feelings I hope?

Being monitored is a pain, but they only do it if it is absolutely necessary. Take in a book and a few mags to pass the time, you will have a bubby in no time.

Glad your DH called and you are back at the hospy now. Look forward to hearing from you when you come home - even if its a BA. Better safe than sorry - this is what hospitals a for when it comes to pregnant women.

Waiting for the good news...

Hi All

All is well. I'm v tired, but fine.

BP shot up while being monitored but settled to 155/86ish eventually.

So they sent me home again.

Ah, the joys.

I want to have this baby so I never have to see that hospital again LOL.

i am glad that you and baby are ok, please call them as soon as you start to feel BP rise again

Look after yourself

glad you are doing better. Must be extremely frustrating with your BP going up and down like that. Seems pointless to send you home after a couple of hours when it could be back up over 170 the very next. Hope everything goes well.

Id really go and get it checked out. you're BP is obviously telling u something dont ignore it.

Im surprised they sent you hom when it was still 155/89, given your at full term.

BP high again today at my clinic (had my 37 week clinic booked for today anyway). Doc said "go home and take some panadol. See you at your next clinic in 2 weeks."

Okay doc I get the point but don't talk to me like I'm stupid. I think after 23 years I know my own body by now.

Wow, the Dr seems to be pretty blaise (sp?) about it. Still, if you are worried just go to hossy.

I am well and truly sick of the place :-)

Good way to advocate home births...send women to hospital. The place is like a hearding yard.

I am grumpy and tired and crampy and going to bed. Up every 2 hours to wee last night and almost need a crane to get me out of bed...at least on BB there are plenty of ladies who feel exactly the same as I do!
