@lauren_thelabornurse: How high did your blood pressure get in pregnancy/postpartum? In pregnancy/pp, blood pressure numbers like 160/110 are medical emergencies. They increase your risk of stroke, placental abruption, and seizures. This is why nurses and doctors take those numbers so seriously and why medications like labetalol and hydralazine are used. #laboranddeliverynurse #laboranddelivery #preeclampsia #pregnancy #birth
I was 36 weeks with bps 150’sand up and the hospital sent me home and not to come back until it was 160/110. Then when I did they wanted to do a crash c section 🫠 why not take preventative measures before it got to that point? My bps were trending up and they were aware of it

I got sent to the emergency room sunday bc i hit 159/96 (after it was 144/80 5 minutes prior) and when i got there they were confused why i was there bc they don’t worry until top number is at least 180?? 😭 my OB did end up putting me on labetalol yesterday though

Gaby S. | SAHM :
My BP before being admitted for postpartum preeclampsia with my first, ended up having multiple rounds of magnesium and staying for multiple nights. I didn’t realize how bad my situation was until one of my nurses was comforting me on the recovery floor telling me I was so strong and had just fought for my life

CLJH :
I became an L&D nurse because my hospital allowed my bp to be 290/190 (on PO & IV meds) for 5 days before delivering me at 30+3. Now 8 years I have severe chronic hypertension. I refuse to let a doctor do that to one of my patients!

My BP is perfect. I was just admitted for gallbladder issues and my liver enzymes are up which could be related to the gallbladder stuff. But I also have protein in my urine, lower platelets, and higher uric acid. Am I headed towards a mag drip or just early delivery?

why is ‘stroke range’ lower in pregnancy (160/110) than when not pregnant (180/120)?

Are you more likely to develop preeclampsia if you had it with a previous pregnancy? Was induced at 38W. With my first and terrified to go through all that came with it again 😅

Been on LabetaloL since 12 weeks. My blood pressure was 182/98 after sitting for 25 minutes without moving. Hospitalized overnight and monitored. My doctors are planning an induction due to my hypertension and that I also developed gestational diabetes as well!

Morgan Ashley :
I was so annoyed with how many times the nurses told me after delivery, after being induced for hypertension. However, SO thankful, because of them, I knew to go back in postpartum because of the signs.
