Blood Pressure Rising not sure what to do

[FabFiona]

If your BP is rising you should try and head in for a check up. Blood pressure and pre-eclampsia are so quick to move - one day it's fine and the next it's not. I was on BP medication for most of my second pregnancy so they might want to start you on that to keep it under control. The BP medication helped me keep things normalish.

Most chemists will do a BP check for you, but in my experience if you ring antenatal they are usually only too happy to check also, especially if you have a history.

I totally agree with Fiona though. It can be so quick. Mine was fine one day with DS and a couple of days later I felt 'funny' so I called and they checked. I had a pressure of 180/110. I went straight onto meds, and was fine to try for my VBAC.

Make sure you are drinking plenty too. I know it's hard and it feels counter productive, but sluggish kidneys only make it worse. And make sure you get some rest.

Ok thanks guys, I'll keep an eye on it over the weekend and see if I can get a check on Monday.
