What is normal blood pressure in late pregnancy?

The normal blood pressure value in the late pregnancy is between 90-140 mmHg (12.0-18.7 kpa), which is determined according to each person's physical condition. The increase in blood pressure in the late pregnancy is mainly caused by gestational hypertension. Gestational hypertension can affect the normal development of the fetus. It is recommended that pregnant women should check their blood pressure. It is necessary to measure blood pressure in the late pregnancy, and we should maintain an optimistic attitude and move around appropriately.

What is normal blood pressure in late pregnancy?

The blood pressure range is systolic pressure (high pressure) between 90-140 mmHg (12.0-18.7 kpa), and diastolic pressure (low pressure) between 60-90 mmHg (8.0-12.0 kpa). If the blood pressure is higher than this range, it may be high blood pressure or borderline high blood pressure, and you should pay attention to the occurrence of pregnancy-induced hypertension syndrome; if the blood pressure is lower than this range, it may be low blood pressure, and you should pay attention to strengthening nutrition.

Systolic blood pressure records the reading when the heart beats, and diastolic blood pressure is the reading recorded when the heart is "resting" between two heartbeats. They are usually separated by "/", such as 130/90.

Pregnant women need to measure their blood pressure during every prenatal check-up. When the blood pressure readings show abnormalities and are abnormal for several consecutive times, it is a cause for concern. If your blood pressure is higher than 140/90 twice within a week and your blood pressure is normal at other times, your doctor will determine whether you have preeclampsia based on the blood pressure measurement results.

It is also important to note that everyone's blood pressure will be different due to physical reasons, so there is no need to compare the test results with others. As long as the doctor says the test results are normal, it is fine.

What to do if pregnant women have unstable blood pressure

Experts tell us that blood pressure will rise slightly during pregnancy due to physical reasons, will drop in the middle stage, and will return to normal in the late stage. Blood pressure will fluctuate throughout the pregnancy.

Of course, these changes are generally within a certain range and vary according to each person's physical condition. Pregnant mothers can consult a doctor for details.

It can be seen from this that the blood pressure of pregnant women will be unstable within a certain range. This is normal and pregnant mothers do not need to worry. In addition, dizziness and palpitations are also symptoms that some pregnant women may experience. They may be due to anemia during pregnancy or temporary hypoxia.

When pregnant mothers find that their blood pressure is not right when they measure it at home, or if they suddenly develop symptoms of high blood pressure or low blood pressure, they can go to the hospital for a detailed examination first. Don't worry too much. The doctor will explain everything and tell you how to treat it.
