Pregnancy High Blood Pressure Symptoms
Most pregnant women will have their blood pressure taken at some point during their prenatal care. This is because high blood pressure (hypertension) is a common problem during pregnancy. Blood pressure is a measure of the force of blood pushing against the walls of your arteries as your heart pumps blood. Blood pressure is usually expressed as two numbers, the systolic pressure (top number) and the diastolic pressure (bottom number).
High blood pressure is a blood pressure reading of 140/90 mmHg or higher. It is important to note that blood pressure can vary from one reading to the next. If you have a high blood pressure reading one day, it does not mean you have high blood pressure for the rest of your pregnancy.
You are more likely to have high blood pressure during pregnancy if you:
Are obese
Have a family history of high blood pressure
Are African American
Are over the age of 35
Are pregnant with more than one baby
Smoke
Are taking certain medications, such as birth control pills or steroids
What are the symptoms of high blood pressure during pregnancy?
Most women with high blood pressure during pregnancy do not have any symptoms. However, some women may experience:
Headache
Vision problems
Chest pain
Dizziness
Nausea
Vomiting
Rapid heartbeat
If you experience any of these symptoms, call your doctor right away.
No Pregnancy Symptoms At 8 Weeks
If you are pregnant, you may be eagerly awaiting the day when you can start to feel your baby moving. But what if you are at eight weeks and still don’t have any symptoms? Don’t worry – you are not alone. Many women don’t start to feel their baby move until around 16-20 weeks.
There are a few things that you can do to help you feel more connected to your baby. One is to start keeping a journal of your thoughts and feelings. This can help you to look back on later and see how your baby was growing and changing during your pregnancy. You can also start talking to your baby, even if you don’t feel like you are getting a response. Hearing your own voice can be comforting, and your baby may start to respond over time.
If you are still worried or concerned, talk to your doctor. They can help to ease your mind and answer any questions that you may have.
Lost Pregnancy Symptoms At 8 Weeks
Some women who miscarry may not experience any symptoms until the miscarriage begins. For other women, however, the early signs of a lost pregnancy may be subtle and difficult to distinguish from the symptoms of a normal pregnancy.
The most common symptoms of a lost pregnancy at 8 weeks include:
vaginal bleeding
pain in the lower abdomen
cramping
nausea
vomiting
diarrhea
constipation
loss of appetite
headache
changes in mood
changes in the amount of vaginal discharge
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, it does not necessarily mean that you are miscarrying. However, it is important to consult with your doctor if you are concerned about any changes in your health.
When Does Pregnancy Symptoms Begin
?
Most women know when they are pregnant because they start having certain symptoms like morning sickness, tiredness, and a missed period. But when do these symptoms start?
Most women start having symptoms within two weeks of becoming pregnant, but some women don’t have any symptoms until they are four or five weeks pregnant. Morning sickness usually starts around the sixth week of pregnancy.
Some women have a lot of symptoms, while others have just a few. Some women have symptoms throughout their entire pregnancy, while others only have them for a short time.
If you are pregnant, it is important to know what symptoms to look for. If you have any of these symptoms, call your doctor and make an appointment.
