I am assuming you mean high blood pressure. First of all did you have high blood pressure before your pregnancy? If not you could be having preeclampsia. Either way high blood pressure is not good during pregnancy. It's not good when you are not pregnant either. Decrease your salt intake immediately and do what your doctor advises and take any medication they give you (they would not prescribe something that would harm your child) They should be monitoring you very closely being that you are 9 months pregnant. If you don't trust your physician, get another one immediately.
Preeclampsia is defined as the new onset of high blood pressure over 140/90 millimeters of mercury (mm Hg) after 20 weeks of pregnancy, usually with higher-than-normal levels of protein found in a urine sample.
Again, if you did nto have HBP before pregnancy, click this link to learn more about preeclampsia.

158/104 is definitely high but a lot of things can contribute to that. you could have been nervous about what the number was and that can actually make it go higher! i've been to the doc's and nervous about appointments and my blood pressure went through the roof but later was fine! 130's isn't a bad number. the old 120/80 is just a GUIDE as to what is good. don't worry about 130 if the doctor says don't worry! pulses vary on a lot of things! if you're overweight or a coffee drinker, it will be higher! follow the doctor's orders on this! personally i think it's easy to freak out but try and have faith in your doctor! or if you don't, get a second opinion!

Go back to your doctor, or another one and say that you're pregnant, and they should be able to prescribe you with some medication. Under normal conditions, indiral is one of my favorites, but don't go on your own, you must be prescribed from a licensed physician. Also consider lowering your "salt" intake, use herbs or mrsdash instead.

Do what the MD tells you. HBP is a silent killer that can harm you and your fetus.

I hope you have blood pressure, if not, you would be dead. Maybe you shouldn't be procreating!!
