I should have mentioned - something I'm doing this time to help with my BP is acupuncture. Not only will it help me prepare for labour, but there are points that are linked to BP that we are working on.

The other thing in my plan for this pregnancy, together with my OB is to try and beat the pre-eclampsia BP spike. My BP tends to bubble along, high-ish and then wham, 220/160 type levels. This time we are going to try and bring on natural labour by using induction acupuncture, stretch and sweeps and other such methods from about 36 weeks. I know that if my body isn't ready then none of this will work, but if there is the slightest chance that it is ready to go then all of this will help.
