Discuss with doc: Elevated blood pressure at the end of the pregnancy can indicate a serious complication called preeclampsia. In this case it would be irresponsible for us to discuss on healthtap. This is a very important issue for you to discuss with your doctor. If you have any concerns or questions about the management then please ask your doctor for clarification.
