Bobbie asked:

At my non-stress test today my blood pressure was 133/88. I am 38 weeks pregnant with gestationial diabetes. They said they would retake it but everyone forgot by the time I left.
This is not the first time my blood pressure had been high over the past 2 weeks.
What could it mean if I have been having high blood pressure?
Note- I do not have caffene or a lot of salt.
