At 20 weeks, I went to my appt and my BP was through the roof! Had to do a 24hr urine and have been on BP meds twice a day since. Starting around 30 weeks I began going to the doctor once a week for a Nonstress Test (my BP still a little high around that time). At 34 weeks I began going TWICE a week to get a Nonstress Test early in the week and a Biophysical Profile (BPP) later in the week. Everytime I go for the Nonstress Test, my BP is ALWAYS up a little. Yesterday it was something over 110…but ended up coming down to 150/80. The nurse practitioner still sent me to the hospital to be monitored and to do another 24hr urine test. The whole time my BP was around 130/80. I was finally sent home after 6 hours with everything looking fine. My BP was NEVER up on their monitor.

So my question is—–Could the nurses at the dr’s office be reading my BP wrong since they do it manually?? Or could the digital automatic kind at the hospital be off some?

I’m just sick of being sent to the hospital or for a BPP and nothing being wrong. You’d think they’d do their best to keep my BP normal instead of getting me all worked up after having to wait for HOURS at the hospital and being uncomfortable and miserable!
