    That’s a little high, but if you have no other signs of toxemia, it’s not necessarily dangerous. As far as pulse goes, I can’t give you an exact number, but I do know that it’s normal for your pulse to raise during pregnancy.

    Generally its 140/90 that becomes a concern and it needs to be on a consistent basis not just a one time blood pressure. They also look for protein in your urine as an indicator of preeclampsia.

    Its normal in some pregnant women.. if you go to the doctors they will tell you that you have to be on bed rest

    I think that normal blood pressure is supposed to be about 135/80 or lower. borderline high is 139/85 i think, then there is stage one high blood pressure and stage two. pulse i believe is anywhere between 65 beats to 100 beats per minute. Now this is to the best of my knowledge. but checking with your doctor is in your best interest.
