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.
