Been sent to the hospital

Kyliem87 · Feb 2nd, 2012, 05:48 AM

Well been sent to the hospital cause my blood pressure was 144/102 then 154/119

and that's being on blood pressure tablets already as high as they can give me. Fingers crossed it's nothing. I hope I'm not in here long tho cause I'm on my own! Mam has said she will come down if I need her tho bless herbut she works an hour away and I do t want her to come down for nothing.

Fingers crossed!

Well I'm home again

My blood pressure came down as my heart rate came down so she's told me to observe my heart rate over the weekend and if it gets back up then I have to phone delivery otherwise she wants me back on Monday for another blood pressure profile and trace to see what's going to as my consultant runs her clinic on a Monday and I'm not scheduled to see her until the 13th - the mw has said that's too far away considering so she would like me to go in. Have to say I can't fault them like they've been really good and I was seen pretty much straight away so relaxing weekend for me and hopefully things have settled down.

Baby was doing great tho and so far doesn't seem too stressed out. I have a growth scan on the 13th and all my mws seem to think they will induce me soon if this pattern remains so just a waiting game now!

Glad you and baby are safe and are being well looked after. That sounds scary to have BP that high.

Its more that there's no where else for us to go. I have to have labetalol or my heart rate doesn't come down and I'm on the highest dose they can give me. 165/120 has been the highest but that was when I wasn't on anything. Hopefully my consultant will be able to help on Monday cause obv the mws can only do so much but at least I get the weekend at home to chill and relax - I also think I'm going to pack my hospital bags just to be safe!

Same happened to me/is happening to me! I was admitted last week for two days to monitor and now have to go every other day as a day patient until next Friday (10th) or Monday (13th) when I will be having baby at 37/37+4 wks. I already packed a hospital bag (didn't for the previous admission as OH did okay job, tho), so just take it one day at a time....

best wishes
