<t>Greetings everyone,<br/> <br/> My name is Vanita Panjwani. This is the 1st time I saw a forum specifically for the Michigan group. Did you have a walk on the 26th? I am sorry I missed it. I did not even know about it till today!! DO any of you know if there is going to be another one in this area...

<t>What is your expected due date. My date was also in November, but I had to deliver 4 1/2 weeks early b/c ny blood presures just kept rising. The Ob said that the benefit of early delivery outweighed the risk of me having a potential seizure. If you are 35 weeks, then you are pretty much "out of t...

Thank you for all your best wishes!!

<t>I just wanted to announce the birth of of daughter last Friday Oct 12- she was born at 35 weeks 3 days and weighs 5 pounds 7 ounces. I was just in for my ultrasound appt to check BPP, and my blood pressure was 168/144. At that point I was sent to triage for serial BP measuremeants. BPs still rema...

<t>Are you taking any medications for high bp and if so which ones and what dose? My case is similar to yours, I have Bps 150s/105-108 and 24 urine protein at accetable limits for pregnancy- don't know the mg. So right now I have PIH not PE. I am still concerened about the high blood pressures and s...

The new guidelines released by the American Heart Association classify Bp < 120/80 as normal. Anything between 120/80 and 140/90 is pre-hypertensive and > 140/90 is hypertension.

<t>The doctor is asking me to continue Aldomet 250mg bid for now. I could go up to 500mg bid in a few days if needed he said. I just don't like the way the Aldomet makes me feel. Delivery of the child will be ultimate solution to the high bps and they will not deliver now if the 24 urine protein com...

Also my heart rates have been > 100 consistently since the last few weeks, going up to 106 bpm. The doctor has not addressed the heart rate issue at all.

<t>It is such a relief to be able to share my situation with this forum. To answer both of your questions: I am monitoing the blood pressures at home- I have been taking aldomet 250mg bid for 48 hrs and my bps today are 150/105 after laying in bed for 3 hours straight, there seems to be no differenc...

<t>I am 37 ½ yrs old and this is my 3rd pregnancy. I was put on bedrest at 32 weeks due to office blood pressures > 140/90 and my 24 hr urinary protein was on the upper limit of normal. I have been on bedrest since the past week but there is no improvement in my bps. They are consistently ru...
