Blood pressure

Hi, I'm 18 weeks into my pregnancy. Has anyone had problems with their high blood pressure being high? About 140+ and doctor prescribe medication. Just worried about the effect to the baby.

There’s pregnancy induced high blood pressure, with medication, it can be controlled and I suggest you listening to ur doc. There’s another more serious one which is pre eclampsia (which also have high blood pressure and other symptoms). I had pre eclampsia in wk34 and my bp went up to 140++. I didn’t have to take bp Med, but was warded 2 weeks and induce at wk36 bcos it’s very dangerous for me and the baby. I’m sure ur gynae will prescribe u pregnancy safe medicine and the pros and cons would have been weighed. Stay positive!
