What is the normal blood pressure for pregnant women?

For pregnant women, every little detail is very important, especially blood pressure, because every move may affect the healthy growth of the baby. So, what is the normal blood pressure for pregnant women? How should pregnant women judge whether their blood pressure is normal when they go to the hospital for a check-up? Let us follow the doctor to find out.

A pregnant woman asked, "I am 25 weeks pregnant and weigh 158 pounds. I was fat before pregnancy. Today I took my blood pressure test and it was 108 on the systolic side and 58 on the diastolic side. Is this normal? Is it low?"

It depends on your blood pressure before pregnancy. I personally feel that it is on the low side. The normal blood pressure of a pregnant woman should not exceed . 17.3/12KPa (130/90mmHg), or no more than 4/1.95KPa (30/15mmHg) compared with the baseline blood pressure. Those who exceed this level should be considered pathological. For example, if a pregnant woman's baseline blood pressure is 110/70 mmHg, and her blood pressure increases to 140/100 mmHg in the later stages of pregnancy, this is not considered normal and is called gestational hypertension.

If a person has a low baseline blood pressure, it is abnormal if the systolic blood pressure in the late pregnancy is more than 30 mmHg higher than that in the early pregnancy, or if the diastolic blood pressure is more than 15 mmHg higher. A person with a blood pressure of 85/60 mmHg should also be considered abnormal if the blood pressure is 120/80 mmHg in the late pregnancy. Therefore, pregnant women should understand their basal blood pressure during early pregnancy check-ups, and then determine whether their blood pressure in the later stages of pregnancy is normal based on the method mentioned above. Generally speaking, if the pregnant woman has no symptoms, low blood pressure will have little effect on the fetus; if the pregnant woman goes into shock due to low blood pressure, it can cause intrauterine distress syndrome due to fetal ischemia and hypoxia. Actively rescue shock, increase blood pressure, identify the cause of the disease, and provide active and effective treatment.

Regular prenatal check-ups, the interval between prenatal check-ups is: once every 1-2 months within 5 months of pregnancy; once a month at 6-7 months; once every two weeks after 8 months; once a week in the last month; check at any time if there are special circumstances. You can go to the hospital to create a medical record in the fourth month of pregnancy, come to the hospital on an empty stomach for Down syndrome screening at 14-19 weeks of pregnancy, and come to the hospital for a four-dimensional color ultrasound at 22-26 weeks of pregnancy to understand whether the development of the fetal reproductive organs is normal. A color photo and a video CD will be given as a souvenir. Nine prenatal checkups in the hospital can prevent the birth of children with congenital defects, which is the most important thing. I wish you good health and happiness!

The above is the answer to what is the normal blood pressure value for pregnant women. I hope it will be helpful to everyone. If you find that your blood pressure is too high or too low during pregnancy, first of all, don't panic too much; secondly, go to the hospital to consult a doctor and take appropriate measures to lower your blood pressure to normal levels.
