I'm Currently Feeling:  | Thats not high - thats normal! I am a healthcare worker and would not classify this as high. Perhaps they just want to keep an eye because of your history, but I really can't understand why they have told you it is high. |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | Thanks ladies. I know it isn't too high right now (though my doc says 120/80 or above is high - seems like lots of different professionals all have different opinions on what is ok or not?) But it's higher than my usual BP and higher than it was a couple of weeks ago.. and since I've had problems with hypertension and pre-eclampsia in the past its a big deal, and I can't help but get myself all worked up and worried about it. |

Too confusing! It can't be that it's in comparison to my 'normal' BP as I defy any of the people I've seen to tell me what that is based on 2 measurements in the past god knows how many years! lol |

Maybe she's just worried that it's going to get higher or something... I don't know! |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | Hey hun, try not to worry if you can that isnt really high though i know your bp is meant to be lower when pregnant, thats why pregnant women get dizzy.
But alot of peoples bp just stay the same when pregnant. Mine has lowered but only to your type of readings as i had high blood pressure before i got pregnant and my mw and dr hasnt been concerned.
Just try and not get stressed if you can and take plenty of rest. xx |
