Pregnant women's physical health cannot tolerate any carelessness, and regardless of whether they experience discomfort symptoms, they should pay attention to regular physical examinations. During the physical examination, measuring blood pressure is very important. If the blood pressure is too high, it should be taken seriously. So, is it normal for pregnant women to have a blood pressure of 140/100?
Whether a pregnant woman's blood pressure of 140/100 is normal cannot be simply judged by the current blood pressure, but also by referring to the blood pressure before pregnancy. If the blood pressure of a pregnant woman remains at 130/90 before pregnancy, then it is normal if the blood pressure is 140/100 after pregnancy. Although this situation is slightly higher than the standard value, it is not a big problem if the high value is not too high. Pregnant women do not need to worry excessively.
But if a pregnant woman's blood pressure is very low during pregnancy and remains around 90/60, then after pregnancy, if the blood pressure rises by 30/15, it is considered abnormal. In this case, a pregnant woman's blood pressure of 140/100 is abnormal. In this situation, pregnant women need to take it seriously and not let their blood pressure continue to rise, which may affect the health of the fetus.
Actually, it's not just high blood pressure that can affect the health of pregnant women and fetuses, low blood pressure is also very dangerous. If a pregnant woman's blood pressure is particularly low, it can lead to physical weakness such as dizziness and shortness of breath. If low blood pressure is particularly severe, it may lead to shock in pregnant women, putting the fetus in great danger and potentially causing hypoxia.
