Glad you're still being watched close and baby is doing great! Let us know what your MFM says about the diastolics, I imagine someone here has experienced it before (search old posts?) but if so I can't remember it and definitely can't remember what the explanation was!

No meds since I'm not a chronic and don't have a sustained high BP. I haven't had a 24 hr in almost 2 weeks. It was 270 on Feb 28. Neither my MFM or OB are terribly concerned about the 24 hr. They rely more.on bps, bloods and symptoms. I'm not swollen but have +4 reflexes. My bloodwork is good but visual disturbances and a headache that comes and goes. The current plan is to deliver me at 37 weeks unless I go high and stay high or baby looks iffy. Right now the baby is a rock star. 8/8. Reactive, 50%ile.

Whoa .. your pressure is really all over the place .. In pre-e they worry more about diastolic over 90-100, but your systolic is much higher.. you have a reason to be in the hospital ! Any medications adjustments ? Level of protein in urine ?
Hang in there !

Nope and I pulled it again this.afternoon. my friend was visiting and my head started hurting. 181/60. Retake a few minutes later was 160/7? And then 15 minutes later 130/91 another 15inutes and it was 147/7?
Just now 117/70 laying down. Just crazy. All the same cuff, same monitor.

No idea! Does your Dr. have any thoughts on it? I'm just glad to see you are still hanging in there!

I'm still on hospital bedrest. My labile bps have become less in the last 24 hours and my systolic is going up and staying up 144-161. The weirdness is my diastolic. It can range anywhere from the high 50's, yes 50's to mid 80's. My last BP was 161/59. ??????? If my diastolic drops, my systolic rises like 144/79.

Thoughts or experiences?
