Pregnancy pressure
Becoming on the account in the women's consultation the futuremy mother undergoes a thorough examination, gives various tests, weighed and necessarily measures the pressure. Data is recorded in the exchange card at each visit to the gynecologist throughout the pregnancy for monitoring. The index of blood pressure depends on the state of the mother and fetus, as well as the further development of pregnancy.
Normal pressure
Within the limits of the norm, the indicator80-120 mm Hg, but small fluctuations of up to 15 mm Hg are permissible. depending on the woman's body. For better control, you need to buy a tonometer and, if necessary, take measurements yourself at home.
The greatest physiological changes in pregnancy occur from the 12th week, so it is very important to see the doctor before this date in order to learn the characteristics of the organism beforehand.
Low pressure
Here, too, an individual approach is needed - ifMom before conception was the pressure 110/70 mm Hg, then at 90/60 mm Hg. she will feel bad, and there may be some problems, including with the future baby, and if before the pregnancy the needle of the tonometer showed 90/60 mm Hg. and at the same time Mom had a wonderful state of health, then the fetus will also feel comfortable with this indicator. If you feel lethargic and drowsy, you get a feeling of lack of air, headaches, and you begin to lose consciousness - check the pressure, most likely it has dropped. This can cause poor blood circulation and impaired development of the fetus.
To avoid this, it is recommended to consume fresh vegetables, berries and fruits.
To raise the pressure, you will also be helped by hot teaor weak coffee. If you were on a diet and forbade yourself a dish, now is the time to give it up so as not to harm your own child.
High blood pressure
In principle, small increases are characteristic forall women in the situation - the blood volume increases by 2.5 liters, respectively, the load on the heart increases, and it should work faster. But strong jumps are not very desirable for both the child and the mother - blood circulation is disrupted, the fetus does not receive enough nutrients and oxygen, and the worst thing is this can lead to early detachment of the placenta. Remember: the difference between your pressure before and during pregnancy should not exceed 15 mm Hg, if this figure is more - consult a doctor, you may have hypertension. It is accompanied by a strong palpitation, noise in the ears, intense headaches, impaired vision, sweating. For a better examination, you may need to go to the hospital. If before the conception you suffered from hypertension, then you will be prescribed a number of medications to stabilize the pressure, which will not harm the fetus. If the indicator on the tonometer is higher than normal, remove chocolate, coffee, strong tea from the ration, give up fried, spicy and fatty foods, exclude any physical exertion, do not get nervous. It is better to rest more, walk in the fresh air, drink fresh juices, very well eat cranberry juice, beet juice and decoction of pumpkin.
To avoid complications, follow all the doctor's recommendations, take all the prescribed tablets, do not miss a single scheduled examination and take care of yourself and your baby.
