34 Week - BP Update
By mcorinnes » Posted Oct. 9, 2015 3:43pm - 361 views - 3 comments
More blood pressure issues have continued. At my last appointment, (10/06/2015) my blood pressure was 138/93. My doctor decided to once again test me for preeclampsia. The results came back the same. There was a SLIGHT elevation in the levels but not enough to be concerned with. They decided to go ahead and put me on medication to help control it. I am currently on 2 doses daily of 100mg of Labetalol. My nurse advised that this should not affect the delivery of Madilynn, that with this medication, she should stay in there until she is ready to come out at ROUGHLY 40 weeks. Fingers crossed!
