Re : Hbp and headaches. sould I worry?
Well just went back to drs office today, and my bp was 141/98 she wants to induce me!!! So Im on my way into the hospital!!!!yeah a dr who listens!!! Thanks for your replys!! Erika
Re : Hbp and headaches. sould I worry?
In my opinion (and I'm not medical) a headache, heartburn and blurred vision are causes for concern. My only warnings when I had eclampsia was headache and heartburn so if I have any signs of these two at any time, I'm getting on the horn to my peri to have some tests run.

You should ask them to do a 24 hour urine, you should mention your heartburn and your seeing spots. Use those words. I had it with my first--fine with my second--very dangerous at 38 weeks with my third and very similar to you--just barely hypertensive and a trace of protein...not enough to get excited about. Do me a favor and push for further testing--and be SURE to mention the spots. At this point, inducing might be a good option.
It would be my personal (non-medical) bias.
