Postpartum high blood pressure

Hi, my baby is now 5 months old. Like you I was always boarder line during pregnancy sitting around 130/140 70/80. When I had him it was super high I ended up in hospital with it as it was extremely high. I had to buy a BP monitor of amazing and do it morning and night for 7 days for the doctor. Luckily it did come down on its own but I generally think the stress of having a baby and lack of sleep and movement etc caused mine. Since I’ve been back walking every day and going the gym it’s got so much better. How many weeks PP are you? If your under 6 weeks they need to be checking you for PP preeclampsia xx

My baby is 4 months and I developed high blood pressure after birth and it keeps getting high and the doctor has increased my dosage and I have been doing lots of walking recently. I have also done home blood pressure reading, I also have to buy a blood pressure machine which I also use in monitoring which has helped too. I think lack of sleep also increases my blood pressure
