What Are The Chances Of High BP For Next Pregnancy?
I have had two children I was in ICU after my first child due to high blood pressure after I had her and then with my second child i battled high blood pressure the entire pregnancy.

My husband and I would really like to have another baby but are scared for my health we would just like to know if I would be fine or not I an 28 yrs old.

Hi,
I understand your concern.
Mostly, high blood pressure is seen in all pregnancies.But if you are keen to have another child & to be normal in the pregnancy, you can-
- Get yourself checked by a physician for having blood pressure in non pregnant state. If you have it-
- you should get investigated to find the cause if any ( thyroid/kidney/ heart problem,diabetes need to be excluded) & start with treatment as per need as per physician's advise.
- should adopt healthy life style, healthy food habits./ weight management.
- Regular walking & exercises ,
- Meditation/mind concentration techniques to get rid of tension
&stress.
- Adopt a positive attitude.
- after you get pregnant, have regular pregnancy/blood pressure/urine analysis check ups.Follow doctor's instructions/treatment strictly,
- Continue with blood pressure medicines as per physician's advise,
- Pregnancy exercises,walking to be continued with doctor's consent. Meditation & positive thinking should be followed ,
- Follow dietary advise strictly.
- Keep your mood happy,peaceful & positive.
This way, iI am sure you can manage your blood pressure to normal.
Thanks.
