i went to midwife yesterday and my BP is very high so i have to "rest" now till friday and get a home visit to check it again. they did it three times at mw and it stayed high. has anyone else had high BP, or just a wierd one off high reading, which is what im hoping mine was?

What was your BP actually ?

emma_b_4

it was 140/93 (they did it three times and that was the lowest they got and recorded)
it has been 120/60 ish all way through
MW said there isnt a cut off mark for "high" BP really, it goes on what individuals usually are, so mine has gone up quite a bit.
i wasnt busy yday though i had had a really relaxed morning

Hi Emma

My BP was 130/80 at 10 weeks which they considered higher than average but its been exactly the same at each appointment until last week when it was 135/82. MW said they will just keep an eye on me (seems to be their answer to all my discrepancies! :rolleyes:).

Put your feet up - I'm sure its nothing to worry about :cool:

sorry to hear that emma it may just be a blip but you should really rest and rest properly to try and get it down again to more your usual levels - and it is about your usual levels not about an average for everyone else. Hope it settles down.

I'm feeling great today as we tried our birth pool yesterday so I spent a blissful hour floating around and trying not to fall asleep in the pool and then slept like a log last night (and only had to get up and go to the loo twice :j ). Only problem now is working out to empty it as we didn't order the pump to try and save money :rolleyes:

CG, I was measuring 33 weeks last Thurs when I was only 31 (not quite 5 weeks, I know!) but the MW said it was nothing to worry about (yet! :rolleyes:). I'm now being seen fortnightly and if its still off the scale next week I will be referred to a consultant. I've already been cleared for diabetes so thats one thing crossed off the list...hope baby was just having a bad day and doesn't turn out to be a 'whopper'! :eek:

Hi, I'm measuring off the scale for my last two visits now as well. First time nearly a week ahead and last time a week and a half ahead (Measuring 35 1/2 weeks at 34 wks). Not as much as you I know but it still worries me. Mw seems completely unconcerned but I am going to bring it up at next visit. She said charts are mainly to monitor for small babies but I am going to bring it up again.

Ha, I had the same thing last night - was feeling very pleased with myself :rotfl:

I've generally had good sleeps for the last few nights - don't want to jinx it, but it makes such a difference to the rest of the day. Here's hoping this will continue right up until the birth :j

Hey SeptemberBaby, remember we were talking about that tummy line thing? Well, I'm finally getting one - at 36 weeks (if it wasn't for DH I wouldn't have noticed it as I haven't seen my lower tummy in weeks now )

Good idea miss-pink as these lot seem very good at getting pregnant!

Have been using the ovulator predictor tests this month. Apparently I haven't ovulated at all and I know I was testing at the right time. I understand that some women don't actually ovulate every month. Has anyone else experienced this? Will I still have a period?

Am starting to think there's something wrong with me
