High blood pressure

Did you tell them that you’ve been getting headaches too?

I had high blood pressure in my 8 week appointment but it was lower at my 12 week. Been getting the absolute worst headaches every morning waking me up at 1am or so. I don't have much faith in the care system though so I'm not putting myself through the same stress as the last few times I tried to get help. If it becomes unmanageable I'll contact my midwife but for now, some paracetamol usually sorts it. Do tell your midwife if you want help though

yeah they’re sending me today to get it checked over again, just hoping it’s nothing to serious such a constant worry 🤦🏼‍♀️ x

have you ever had high blood pressure before ? It’s just such a worry when I Google things I make my self 10x worse, and I’m the same the head aches are horrific mostly of a night. Going again today to get it checked over! Hope your feeling better soon x

With my first I had high blood pressure from the start. We now know it was anxiety induced as when I check it at home it’s totally normal!! It’s raised every time I go for any type of appointment so has been put down to white coat syndrome

Please get this checked and get on medication if needed and weekly BP checks or use a monitor at home. I had a lot of complications during birth due to my blood pressure not being medicated during pregnancy
Could be white coat, worry with scans etc but you don’t want to risk it x
