Hi Tinkerbelle

There are many things that can increase your BP including the fear of having a high BP. At 138/90 it is not scary high however it needs to be watched. The fact that your BP is going up and down is a good sign and would tend to make me think that it is anxiety related.

A small amount of protein in your urine is quite common and due to this and the fact that it is not there on every test indicates that this is nothing to worry about. A 24 hour urine measures the amount of protein in your urine over that period of time. This test would only usually be done if you had more than a trace of protein in your urine.

A low platelet count can be caused by a number of things including some drugs. I take it by reading your posts that your platelets are not too low and if this is so I would put it down to pregnancy, However there are a couple of pregnancy related problems that can cause low platelets. It is therefore well worth continuing with your regular BP and urine check. Also If you start to develop a headache, pain at the top of your bump, blurred vision, spots or zigzags in front of your eyes then contact your midwife.
