Hi Dianna

My BP was diagnosed as HBP at 23 wks roughly.I think for memory it was 140/85, just below the danger point which is 150/90 and I had traces of protein in my wee.At that point the doc said because I had HBP so early on I had to relax or maybe cut back on work hours or go on maternity leave.I took the option of maternity leave thanks to my employer freaking out and scared to have me there.My BP dropped and stayed normal untill this week.

I have had sudden swelling of my feet, legs and ankles and headaches.My BP was back up to 135/85.The doc said its the lower number that they worry about, cause if it hits 90 then theres a problem.They didn't do a wee test or anything.I got a newbie doc and all she said was "oh well we are seeing you weekly anyway and its to soon to put you on HBP medication!?' WHAT THE?!I only have 2 wks to go and she was talking medication!How dumb!Little late for medication I thought.But I'm like you there seems to be no urgency in them following up or treating HBP.Needless to say if I have bad headaches again or any other symptoms that its flaring up I'm going straight to the hospital and demanding more tests!!!!
