Patient's question:
I am 39 weeks and 4 days pregnant. For the past 4 days, my blood pressure readings have been consistently 140/90. The baby's movements have also not been very active. Does blood pressure affect delivery?Doctor's answer:
This blood pressure is a bit high. Eat more light meals and reduce salt intake. Pay attention to blood pressure changes to see the situation during labor before making a decision. If the blood pressure is still high during labor, it is best to choose a cesarean section. Hypertension during pregnancy is an indication for a cesarean section. In addition to timely treatment during labor, friends with the condition should always maintain a positive attitude to face the disease. Only in this way can they reduce the patient's immunity and the belief to fight the disease. At the same time, they should pay more attention to their dietary care and closely monitor their symptoms, believing that this will definitely drive away labor.
