Gestational Hypertension/ pre eclampsia / eclampsia

Di ko sure kung meron ng ganito pa delete na lang po kung meron na
 
I developed Hypertension at 34 wks, sa House kasi highest BP ko 160/100. I was rushed to ER give nila ako Aldomet 250 mg (Methyldopa) then confined for 2 days for bp monitoring, bloodworks, 24 hr urine collection, for my baby BPS & doppler. Sa 2 days ko dun once lang ako nagtake ng Aldomet kasi normal naman.

Had my check up yes at my OB @ TMC, my BP 140/90 pina admit nya ako Pre Labor Room for BP monitoring, i took Aldomet 250 mgs then after 35 mins 110/70 na Bp ko. Normal din NST ko so pinauwi din ako. My OB prescribed me Aldomet 500 mgs 3 x a day. Di ba sobra yun? I've been taking it 250 mgs 3 x a day. Ok naman bp ko 100/60-120/90, Di ko sya sinunod. Natakot ako na baka biglang bagsak ng bp ko. For doppler & BPS ako everyweek.

Just sharing and trying not to worry.  Anyone else been through this? I could use some advice, support, words of encouragement, napapraning na kasi ako kasi ask ko mga nurse friends, midwife too much daw ang 500 mgs, Thanks mga sis

sis, pwede mo ba share kung [textspeak!] ano ang mga na feel mo that time? i mean symptoms ganun.

[Edlyn_rn]

Sis, headache & vomiting lang nafeel ko, Wala nga ako edema kaso mataas protein ko sa 24 hr collection but in my urinalysis negative, sign of preeclampsia yung headache, vomiting, edema, blurring of vision, back pain, high protein in urine, pag napabayaan can lead to fetal death. ilang weeks na lang pwede na ko mag deliver:(

[lovelymaeve]

^take care sis, and salamat sa info.

[jhez]

^^^sis, ok ka na? i hope you delivered your baby well... tumataas BP ko din. and my OB prescribed me aspirin to prevent daw HB. under observation ako... im on my 30th week...

[iyahkin]

i had pre-eclampsia with my first pregnancy .. present ang gestational hypertension and diabetes (had insulin shots for 2mos).. had to stay in the labor room for days prior to giving birth kasi my bp shoot up to 170/140 nung last checkup ko .. after giving birth .. tumuloy tuloy yung hypertension ko so may maintenance na ko ..

now i am on my 25th week and as early as 16weeks .. i am taking aldomet (250mg) 4 x day and aspirin na .. next week i'll have my ogtt to check for gdm .. i am hoping na sana within normal range para hindi na candidate for insulin shots ..

iyahkin - sis sorry ah, pano ka nagkaroon ng hypertension? I mean, lahi niyo ba yun? or bigla nalang na meron ka nung check up mo? saka if you dont mind me asking, may kinalaman ba edad dun? kasi may friend ako 23 lang siya although wala naman siyang G.hypertension pero nung mismong D-day nagshoot up yung BP niya kaya siya na-CS..

[iyahkin]

bbmack - both my parents are hypertensive din .. i was 25 during my 1st pregnancy .. so they keep on monitoring my bp kahit na wala akong checkup .. i am not sure with your friend ha .. pero siguro kinabahan din siya nung time na yun kaya tumaas bp niya .. kinabahan din ako nung last checkup ko kasi i watched a video on giving birth the natural way .. pasaway din .. hehe

my parents we're insisting that i undergo a c-section para hindi ko na daw kelangan umire .. hehe .. pero sabi ng ob ko .. kaya ko naman mag normal so i was in the delivery room for 11hrs with 170/110 na bp sa monitor .. naubos na ang epidural .. ayaw pa rin bumaba ni baby .. try pa rin daw ng konti .. then i heard my ob and anes na ipeprepare na ko for cs .. sedated me .. pero yun .. normal pa rin .. buti na lang ..

sana this time .. normal delivery pa rin ..

[bbmack]

iyahkin - naku hypertensive din parents ko saka diabetic daddy ko.. so far naman negative pa ako sa mga yun.. buti normal ka sis galing! ingat ingat

[iyahkin]

hehe .. good for you at negative ka ..

nako .. nakakaloka nga kasi sabi sakin ng OB ko .. "nako,dapat manganak ka na,ayokong i-cs ka kasi magagalit na sakin mama at dadi mo" ahahahaha

Just want to share baka may kaparehas akong case at least we could learn from each other's experience..

Last wk, at 34wks pregnancy i was confined din for 2 days bec of hypertension, umabot ako ng 160/110..after e.r I was brought to the labor room to monitor my baby, thank God ok naman ang NST nya.. I was given methyldopa 250mg to be taken 3x a day..and cefuroxime for my UTI, good thing nafound out eto habang di ko pa due, at least matreat man lang siya bago ako manganak.. right now naka maintenance padin ako ng for bp pero 2x a day nalang at naging 1x a day na nga lang nung nag110/70 na ko.. i was hoping na sooner masstop ko na yung meds kaso lang kagabi nastress nanaman ako, nakalimot yung nagpastress sa akin na bawal ako isstress muna..hay...

[jp_jameop]

^i hope ok ka na ngayon sis...

ako din kinakatakutan ko to kasi asa lahi yung pagiging hypertensive. Minsan pa naman nagbablurred yung vision ko pero nagpapacheck naman ako ng bp everything is ok naman... Thanked God.

[aleng_maganda]

  Actually gestational hypertensionis the main reason why ako na cs with my first child. At 37 weeks that time nag 170/90 ang bp ko. Now am 19 weeks with my second, chronic hypertensive na ko, kasi nag hhighblood na rin ako, kahit di ako preggy. wala naman akong nararamdaman kahit ano, pag mataas bp ko. Kaya feeling ko okay Lang. Basta inom ako meds. Then okay na ko. I don't know malakas talaga loob ko, for as long as I feel alright. Di ako mabilis magpanic. Papakiramdaman ko sarili ko.

[violinist]

jp_jameop:
ako din may time na nagbblured yung vision ko akala ko dahil lang pagod ang eyes ko, pero could be bec of my high bp na pala.. ingat nalang sis, check mo lagi bp mo..

aleng_maganda:
ako naman sabi ni ob the more na dapat daw akong magnormal delivery kasi tumataas bp ko, unless nalang daw kung may emergency sa kalagitnaan ng delivery..buti sayo sis full term na si baby nung nag 170/90 bp mo.. ako nun bukod sa 34wks palang siya, eh wala pa din yung tatay nya, last week pa ng september darating, kaya kung nagkataon i'll be on my own..but the Lord is good and faithful, di Nya kami pinapabayaan ng anak ko, kahit tuwing pupunta kami ng ER pag nagsshoot up ang BP ko eh ako lang at yung maid..parang naawawa na nga lang yung mga staff ng ER kasi walang ibang makapagsulat sa info sheet nila kundi ako lang kahit antaas2x na ng bp ko.. I know He will see us through hanggang magfull term siya at dumating nadin ang tatay nya

[dada08]

i had my check up last wednesday. 3x inulit bp for 1st 131/86 nung 2nd & 3rd reading (after 1 hr) na naging 142 something...binigayan ako ni OB ng aldomet once a day & fish oil. even before kasi tumataas na talaga bp ko..

any update sa mga mommies na nanganak na w/ hypertension?

[chixxx23]

Good to know hindi lang pala ko nag iisa . My bp has been 130/100 for 4 days, tas nung nagpa check up ako 140/100. Nag methyldopa ako every 6hrs, but dinpa rin ma control bp ko. Kaya now i'm taking 500mgs 3x a day.. Ayoko mahpa admit kc sa slmc ang ob ko. D ko maimagine how much bill ko if magpa admit ako even for a day

Unfortunately, may impaired glucose tolerance din ako. But for now, mas matindi ing sa hypertension ko. Im on my 34th week. Sama things will still turn out well [textspeak!] i give birth to my 2nd child...

[theathoinkxzs]

Advice ng OB ko na mag monitor ng BP everyday since nag iiba iba [textspeak!] yung BP ko. Minsan mataas minsan nman sobrang baba. I hope maging ok nman in the long run. Pray lang lagi.

hi sissses just want ask i am 7weeks and 3 day pregnant based on my uts. My doctor advised me to take duphaston, folic acid , duvadilan, caltrate plus and aspirin aspilet. Medyo natakot ako kasi for hypertension yun aspirin at pampalapot daw ng dugo ko yun kasi medyo me edad na 33 na ako coz my first baby to ito. My bp is 90/60 di naman ako high blood. Ok lang ba yun uminom ng ganito kadaming medicine for baby.

[Dacian]

my ob prescribed aspirin for my preeclampsia.

[rumplehuey]

I gave bith thru CS because my water bag broke early. saktong 37 weeks lang anak ko. Nung Nov 24 ako nanganak, Ngayon 1 week after ko manganak, nag hihighblood ako, umabot pa g 180/100. Kaya ayun sabi ng OB postpartum preeclampsia daw. Pag mataas bp ko sa 160 eh pinag cacalcibloc nya ko, pero naka maintenance ako ng felodipine. Kaso tuwing gabi tumataas BP ko ulit 150-160. Meron ba sa inyo nagkaganito?
