(Advice/Information) Rising Blood Pressure

[mummy of 3 boys]

Marcellus- i was around the 115/60 now its jumped last week to 135/80 anf this week im 130/85 she said its not jumping dramatically but it is still higher then normal, she does know about the other symptoms as i also swell in the ankles/feet if im on my feet all day

i didnt have any blood pressure problems with my first pregnancy until near the end when i went into labour it started rising

Junglemum- im not rushing to appointments i just wait for normal check-ups to ask questions normally today im just worried cause i want answers iykwim?, my midwife did urine tests last week at my normal check-up and it come back with a little bit of protein in it so she ran the urine and BP past a Dr who said she needs to check my blood pressure more often, so she booked me in again today, i went in and as mentioned above its still not normal BP and had blood test again which reads normal again

I too would be ensuring they are aware of the visual changes.
I had rising blood pressure through both my pregnancies. I ended up doing a few stints in the day stay area of maternity in my 1st pregnancy for continuous monitoring. They would take my BP every half hour or so for half a day. Each time it came down to within normal limits. Its possible I had some kind of "white coat syndrome" that put my BP up for my checkups, even though I can honestly say I am not nervous about medical procedures or around doctors. My body tells a different story though!
Re the protein in urine, sorry if this is TMI but no one ever told me to "wipe around" prior to collecting the MSU. They always just gave me a pot and said, "go pee in it" (paraphrase). However, there are traces of protein in CM apparently, so it's important to make sure you're not collecting any of that bizzo along with your wee.
The thing that concerns me about your posts (not that I'm a professional, just IME) is the visual disturbance, so I'd make sure you stress that to the midwife. If it is happening a lot then they should monitor you and baby more regularly.

The fact that it's affecting your vision is ringing alarm bells for me, and the fact there are traces of protein in your urine. It sounds like signs of PE to me. When is your next appt? I'd get checked out asap if I were you.
