Do you think I should call the hospital? Onset of PE?

[Hansie]

As others have said I would call if you are concerned. I also have high blood pressure, but so far I ahve been lucky other than hig BP no indicators of PE. My BP throughout my pregnancy has been 130/80, but about 4 weeks ago started to rise at it's highest it was 155/80. I was told the systolic number is more your anxiety number as this number is how quickly the blood is being pumped where as the diastolic is more closely wtached as this is your resting number (between beats) in my case is a lot better judge of what my BP is as I get major anxiety when having my BP taken. What is your bottom number when you are doing BP??

Hopefully you have contacted you provider and had your mind put at ease.

Thanks for your replies everyone. I called the hospital and they told me to see my GP as it could be an indication of proteinuria or an infection. I was lucky enough to get an appointment for later this afternoon so I will come back and update tonight.

Okay, so I AM a hypochondriac! Went to the Dr's and no proteinuria and no infection. I guess better to be safe than sorry though and at least I can enjoy my weekend without worrying.
