Shelby it is more then likely you have whats called essential hypertension which you didn't know about before your pregnancy. It is very rare to have blood pressure problems associated with pregnancy under 20 odd weeks. But like some of the others have mentioned it could be from the stress of waiting to hear the HB etc.

I'm of to try get an appointment with my Ob today as I have so much pain in my uterus and one ovary. I'm hoping its just adhesions stretching to accommodate my growing uterus but I am still freaking out so want it checked out but I doubt I'll get in to him on such short notice. Worth a shot anyway maybe someone has cancelled or something. I also haven't felt bub move for a few days. I guess its because it is so tini tiny still.

angelfish great news on feeling bub.
