I currently have Pregnancy Induced Hypertension, that's blood pressure which is 140/90, and yes, my doctor ALWAYS sends me for monitoring and eventually it goes down to the 130's/80's, then they let me go home. Just be HAPPY your doctor is so concerned that they send you to be monitored because of that, they could be concerned it'll become higher! They just want to make sure you nor baby have any complications, as well as, make sure baby is growing and functioning well inside, PIH can make a baby not grow like it normally should, cause problems and a lot, therefore BE thankful that you have a great doctor!

Optimal is 120/80. Normal is below 139/89. It would seem like you get some anxiety when at the doctors office since it is coming up high there but optimal elsewhere. That is in the normal range.

My BP is always over 140/85, monitored. Usually higher than that though. If you don't have swelling, headaches, protien in your urine or pain under your right breast, just keep your stress level down, stay away from things high in sodium and drink plenty of water.

Normal adult blood pressure is 120/80. That isn't a sign of anything serious, especially since it raises at the doctors office, which is normal. No need to be alarmed. Just try to relax when you go to the doctor :) 130 over 90 isn’t anything to be concerned about in pregnancy. Normal adult blood pressure is 120/80.
