Well I just had my 37 week checkup and my blood pressure has jumped from 120/70 or 80 to 145/90! I've been ordered home on rest. I'm feeling really upset as at this stage with my last baby my blood pressure jumped this high plus swelling and intense headaches and so was diagnosed with Pre-eclampsia and was born at 37.5 week underweight as my placenta had broken down.

I feel like it is happening all over again. It has taken me by surprise as I'm not stressed like last time, I've had no swelling or headaches and have put on minimal weight (9 kgs compared to 26+ kg last time).

Has anyone else experienced High blood pressure and not develop pre-eclampsia and the baby was quite happy to keeping going until ready to be born?

I guess to top it all off my husband is studying (as well as working full-time) and has an assignment due Friday and next Wednesday and an exam in 2 weeks!
