Suggest The Ideal Blood Pressure When One Is Pregnant

I just took my blood pressure and it was 138 107...is that high? Im 10 weeks pregnant and having severe headaches and Im wanting to make sure that the baby is ok. Should I go to the ER right now or should I just wait until my OBGYN appointment on Tuesday? Also, I had preeclampsia with my first pregnancy...what should I do?

Hello dear,I understand your concern.In my opinion there might be recurrence of preeclampsia in this pregnancy.I suggest you to repeat the blood pressure recording after 6 hours because a single reading cannot be a diagnosis of preeclampsia in pregnancy.
Dont worry.Avoid stress.If the repeat blood pressure is high I suggest you to consult doctor.
Best regards...Dr.Srilatha
