I would call into your OB line if you can, usually there's an emergency phone number on the answering machine. If not I think you may want to go in, better to be safe! I wish you the best of luck ! 🙏

I had the same problem and ended up with eclampsia post partum keep an eye on it, eclampsia is the worst I was hospitalized 4 days after baby was born had heart failure and liquid in lungs- my bp was never higher than 135 by the time I made it to the hospital after having my baby it was 189

was your OB ever concerned?
honestly now i’m nervous because ever dream i have of giving birth i always black out for the birth and wake up hours later. and this is my second pregnancy so id assume my brain would remember what giving birth is like. so idk if that means anything 😳

Well not till 37 weeks I had a c section- honestly; bp is something to be concerned about- your better off going and getting checked out than waiting. I knew something was wrong before I was discharged they told me nothing was wrong bp was in the 140s that was Sunday and on Tuesday I needed hospitalized… until this passed Sunday I was soooo scared when they told me I had heart failure and liquid in my lungs and my bp was through the roof this was my 1st pregnancy that made it full term and having to go through that was so traumatic.
