I developed HBP at 17weeks last pregnancy - there was no explanation and I was placed under the watchful eye of the Renal Specialist.

The best thing I did was go and see a good naturopath - she mixed me up a concoction of sorts that managed to control my Blood Pressure - my renal specialist was astounded by how well it worked - it was disgusting vial stuff but it did the trick.

I cannot recommend alternate remedies enough - it kept me off medication and allowed me to have a normal, healthy baby - ok he was a little early but that had nothing to do with BP.

On another quick note - if you're a little bit chubbier - you have to ask them to use the "large cuff" when doing the BP take - it made a world of difference and I now know what to ask for during this pregnancy - you'd be surprised how many doctors don't think of this....

Try and stay happy and maybe if you have the resources avaialbe to you look at doing some Yoga - this helped relax me last time.

Try not to stress (I know easier said than done) because that only makes it worse

take care of yourself OK
