Wife is hospitalized right now, she went for her normal check-ups earlier today, but she was found with slightly high blood pressure (134/90 instead of her normal 110-120/80), and now she’s under observation pending the results of various exams and the lowering of her pressure.
I’m currently stuck at work, need to wait a few hours before I can leave and be with her.
Second “scare” we have had in her pregnancy…
I wouldn't worry too much. 134/90 is elevated, but not dangerous. 160/100 is considered high, 180/110 is a medical emergency. So you're still in the safe range.
Still smart to get it checked out what with the bun in the oven, but I wouldn't stress too hard.
It’s now under control at 120/80, and yeah, we were told its not so bad, but still needed checking as her mom suffered from preeclampsia in two of her four pregnancies, so they have to make sure that’s not what is happening.
Glad they got it back in normal range. Preeclampsia is nothing to fuck around with, especially with a family history. Deeeep breaths, ok? Stress is a big trigger. But she's ok, baby's ok, so you're ok.
