High blood pressure post natal

Hey ladies, just wandering if anyone had any positive stories or advice. I got admitted last Thursday 40+3 days pregnant with pregnancy induced hypertension. I was started on lebetalol and baby boy was born Friday night, discharged Sunday on medication and BP had been fine. Went for heel prick test on day 5 yesterday and BP was 151/92, has risen since so advised to come to triage this morning and now sitting around 163/99 and HR 52. Has anyone else had this? Dreading staying in hospital again as just want to be home but I know it’s best for myself and baby and my little girl. TIA x

Have you packed your baby bag?

I have nooo fricken energy to find items and pack them 😅 I keep telling myself you have 3 weeks... You have time 🫠

Have you packed?

Anyone suffered with postnatal preeclampsia?

I'm 6 days PP and ended up getting induced a day before my due date as I had protein in my urine and high bp. I've had my baby now but blood pressure is still up, I've been put on labetalol and also nifedipine as my bottom figure is still just over 100..

The anxiety I get everytime a midwife puts the cuff on is horrible every other day, it's only been six days. They wanted to keep me in for 24 hours but I said no and they added another medication. The woman told me 'you're probably going to have high blood pressure for life now' and it's just made me really depressed. Any one else experienced this? How long did it take to stabilise..

Are yall ready?

Im 30 weeks today! I am having my 4th baby, so I feel like I should be a pro lol however, my last baby is 5, almost 6. Its been so long and I feel like everything has changed. I also forget a lot lol. My mindset as well has changed and wanting to use more organic products etc. This is my 1st child with my husband. His first baby and we tried for 3 years to get pregnant. So idk if its all the emotions as well or what lol like I want everything to be perfect. I had 3 kids before I turned 21 and felt like I was just in survival mode with them. Anyways, im wondering how ready everyone else is. We are almost finished with the nursery. We have a crib, car seat, bassinet and most essentials. There are still some other things we need. I guess im just so nervous I won't be prepared lol. I packed my diaper caddy. Diaper bag is kinda ready lol. Where is everyone else at?
