‘Borderline’ high blood pressure

I’ve not had these issues but can understand your worry! If I was in this position I’d get myself a blood pressure machine for at home and test it myself a few times per day. Not medically trained in any way but feel having some data behind you will either put you at ease, or help you push for further support if it’s needed without waiting. Fingers crossed it’s nothing to worry about x

Hi Abby, I’m also at this same stage in my pregnancy and experienced the same thing last week. My BP was high and was sent to triage, they gave me some meds but it didn’t go down so they admitted me. My urine and bloods were fine. I’m now going in twice a week for checks. You’re doing the right thing - hope you feel better soon!

Hello, my entire pregnancy I've been getting like 163/116 as my first bp when my community midwife does it, it usually comes down to 133/85 or lower by the 2nd or 3rd go but if it stays high I end up in triage only for it to go low there and sent home.
I have been worried about preeclampsia as my mother had it with me but as I have no other symptoms they seem to say it's white coat syndrome or just faulty equipment, as of today I'm 37 weeks and triage asked me to start monitoring at home every few days.

I wouldn't want to tell you not to worry but due to my own personal experience as long as you are aware of what symptoms to look out for and are happy with baby's movements then you should be okay
