Answer 3

If you are correct that it is 90/120 the 90 is fine but the 120 in that equation is way too high, meaning that your heart is racing. Which doctors would worry if it gets higher because of toxemia. 120/90 if you are in your first trimester the doctor might worry it will get higher as your prenancy progresses. So if you are in your final trimester and the doctor didn't give you restrictions than don't worry. If it is bothering you call and ask the office for clarification. It's better to be safe than sorry.

Answer 4

90/120 is a little bit high. normal is 80/120 or 120/80. it doesn't matter on how you said it, people still get it.

so frequently check your blood pressure to see if it is getting high or not. sometimes, because you're pregnant now, you will feel tired, it can also higher your blood pressure. so before you do the test you need to feel relax.

3 years ago, I was diagnosed - hypertension with a reading of 160/100. I used to feel dizzy a lot, my legs had awful cramps, and levels were very low in my potassium, causing my fingers and toes to always cramp together. One day I started to feel really faint while I was driving with my daughter in the back seat and I passed out, hitting 3 cars and ending up in a ditch. That moment,I knew I had to do something because my meds weren't working. I heard about this diet from a friend and thought I'd give it a shot. The results have been remarkable. In just 21 days, I honestly can't remember feeling this good, my blood pressure went from 175/110 to 125/70.

First consult a midwife- midwives are experts in education and client responsibility. Thats good for you because rather than sit back and "wait to have a problem" a midwife will inform and empower you to make choices that work as prevention in pregnancy complications!

Please remember healthy mothers and healthy pregnancies make healthy babies! Eat nutritiously including a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins - Check with your practitioner for RDA, research B VITAMINS for the prevention of PIH (pregnancy induced hypertension).

High blood pressure in pregnancy is also alled Pregnancy induced hypertension, or, PIH. PIH can leead to preeclampsia signified by edema, or swelling particularly of the hands, feet, face. PIH is a very very serious condition and treating it is by far more challenging that preventing it!!!!!!! Should you develop PIH you will likely be on bedrest and require a C/S in order to protect you and your unborn, even then it is very risky to you particularly.

You CAN prevent PIH in most cases, but, you need to have the right practitioner - Doctors specialize in medical problems, they are at their best when there is a problem, and that is great, when you need it. Most midwives on the other hand fous on prevention, nutriotion, education, and an overall sense of empowerment and wellbeing.

An excellent prenatal vitamin is Professional Prenatal Formula by Life Time (I am pretty certain thats the name, I have misplaced my source- which is: Fertility, Cycles, and Nutrition- there's an excellent section in there about preventing High Blood Pressure in pregnancy.

I have a ton of stuff about this, if you would like more information feel free to ontact me!

Answer 7

90 over 120? or 120 over 90? 120 over 90 sounds normal. 90 over 120 sounds odd. very odd. i'm thinking you have that mixed up. but if your doctor thinks it getting high then ask him what to do. i would always trust the doctors opinion, and if your questioning it, then go to another doctor. get a second opinion. i work in the health profession, and we always refer to the doctor and not our own opinions.

Answer 8

90/120 is very high you need to be laying on your left side- my blood pressure wasn't that high and i was put on bed rest for two weeks and then was induced a month early- high blood pressure can case stroke and seziures.......really bad for baby, you need to call your dr, you may have toxemia

Answer 9

I am sure you mean 120/90. The 90 is high - not the 120.

Answer 10

Your systolic pressure is OK. Your diastolic pressure (90) may be a tad high. If your OB-GYN says that it's too high, then you should listen to him/her.

People DO tend to carry more fluid during pregnancy, and that can make your B.P. go higher.
