High Risk pregnancy

[jennenglebert]

My doctor decided at yesterdays apt that I needed to see a high risk doc. I was 18 weeks yesterday. Im nervous. Im not sure what to expect next week when we go. I have what they consider chronic blood pressure.  Anyone going through this or have gone through this that has any insight on what to expect? Im 35, 3rd child. I havent had a baby in 12 years.

My blood pressure goes really high from
Around 30. Weeks! This is my 3rd pregnancy and they've started me on daily asprin from 12 weeks! Maybe you could ask about this?

Love the perinatal center I went to.  Doc was great. He did say he would not let me labor and that I will not be allowed to carry past 38 weeks. So moves my due date up to sept sometime.

I don't have high blood pressure but I see an high risk doctor as well. I still have regular doctor appointment but I have to have the progesterone shots due to one pre term birth and another one we almost lost to pre term birth. I love my doctors and nurses they really care about you and your baby being healthy. I don't think you have anything to worry about.

I don't have chronic blood pressure but i am a high risk pregnancy due to a previous still birth. I see a consultant every 2 weeks and have scans every 2 week's along with normal midwife appointment's. I was also allowed to be induced at 38 week's. I'm not sure what will happen to you regarding your specific care and i should imagine you will be on medication but most likely you will see a consultant regularly. Hope this helps.good luck x
