Re : Waiting for preeclampsia
<t>I'm happy about 143/83, but I am also getting down into the 130's which is below my baseline. What are the repercussions of going below the baseline.

Re : Waiting for preeclampsia

Re : Waiting for preeclampsia
<t>Thanks for responding. I totally agree. I think I would have depression and anxiety that would affect my blood pressure more. Plus, since I have severe pelvic, lower back, sciatica and hip pain, resting on my side is very difficult. Usually checking my blood pressure after lying on my side result...

Re : Waiting for preeclampsia
<t>The doctor told me not to worry because it's a mild preclampsia. He wants me to continue monitoring my bp and he does not want to up the meds. My bps' have been around 140/90 to 155/90... the first being the baseline. He said it would be a good idea to go on bedrest, but I honestly don't think I ...
