Answers:

I am assuming you mean high blood pressure. First of all did you have high blood pressure before your pregnancy? If not you could be having preeclampsia. Either way high blood pressure is not good during pregnancy. It's not good when you are not pregnant either. Decrease your salt intake immediately and do what your doctor advises and take any medication they give you (they would not prescribe something that would harm your child) They should be monitoring you very closely being that you are 9 months pregnant. If you don't trust your physician, get another one immediately.

Preeclampsia is defined as the new onset of high blood pressure over 140/90 millimeters of mercury (mm Hg) after 20 weeks of pregnancy, usually with higher-than-normal levels of protein found in a urine sample.

Again, if you did nto have HBP before pregnancy, click this link to learn more about preeclampsia.
