For example, mine started around 135/90 all along, and as long as it doesn't start going up, my doctor isn't concerned. For someone with a much lower starting pressure, it is different. There isn't really a line that turns it from high blood pressure to pre-eclampsia. I don't think 125/85 is high at all during pregnancy. They are more concerned if it increases.

Mine is always in the 130s/80. These are good pressures for me while not pregnant, so my doctor is looking for a jump in pressure that stays sonsistently high, not a specific number.

It isn't really serious right now, but they are going to want to monitor you closely to make sure it stays at a manageable level.
