@sungirl: that gives me a lot of hope! I was the same my first pregnancy. BP is normal do far at 28 weeks this time.

With my first, I went on BP meds and bed rest at 22 weeks. I had a bad episode at work and was actually rushed to the ER. I was at a job where I was walking all day. So I quit work and had to be on modified bed rest as well as meds in order to manage my very high blood pressure. I was induced on my due date when my BP spiked to 160/100.

With my second, I went on BP meds at 12 weeks. Since I started managing it earlier, I didn't have to go on bed rest, but my doctor did have to up my medication a couple times as the pregnancy progressed. My BP never spiked and I never had proteins in my urine and ended up delivering naturally 8 days before my due date.

I'm bumping this again. I was just going to draft a post asking essentially the same question but came across this one first. I was induced at 37 weeks with my first pregnancy due to high bp (never became preeclamptic). I'm 13 weeks pregnant with my second and wondering how likely it is for me to have the same issue this time around. I'm already stressing about it, which obviously doesn't help anything!
