HELP high blood pressure?

I’m 27 weeks, my hands have been swollen and sore, I checked my blood pressure and it was 139 over 85.
Is that high and would you call triage? I don’t want to waste their time

i would call them even if it’s just for some advice! do you have an advice line for your hospital? never a waste of time if you’re worried/concerned especially if you have some swelling, it may be nothing but i’ve learnt through this pregnancy to always check, better to be safe and to put ur mind at ease! xx

Hi Kelly, I think it can be concerning when it's over 140 or 90, but being not that far from these numbers I'd call to ask them if they want to see you

Thanks ladies, I called the triage and the woman spoke to the doctor apparently it’s all fine and to just stay out of the heat and keep an eye on the swelling x

I have this too. I have insane high blood pressure. 151/88 was last reading but they havent said much yet. I have protien in my urine too. So, next appointment which is Friday. If protein is still there I know they will refer me to hospital because it could be a sign of pre eclampsia. Don't want to worry you but want you to keep that possibility open aswell. Especially when you mention about swelling added. Xx
