Advice?

Hi All,

Just looking for a bit of advice if anyone can help.

I'm 26+ weeks with my second child. With my first I was induced at 39+6 for pre-eclampsia.

During this pregnancy my blood pressure has never been over 120/70 (it's normally 116/65 ish)

However, today i've taken my blood pressure several times today and it's around 138/91 (some over 140/90 and some 138/88, 141/89 etc etc)

I really don't know whether I should call the hospital or not, I know it's definitely not normal for my BP to be that high but I know when I had to stay in hospital and be monitored with my first it was higher than that.

Hope someone can help
Thanks

Because you had pre-eclampsia last time I'd call. That's not an above normal blood pressure - I don't think - but if your blood pressure is going up it'd be good to find out early!

Thanks, I'm about to go out to my hubbys film screening and the hospital is in the town I'm going to so I suppose I could phone and go now. Better to be safe etc.
Thanks
