hello everyone
just wondering what everyones blood pressure has been like so far.
mine has been between 100/60 to 110/60 dont really understand much about blood pressure but my last appointment a few days ago it was 140/75 only 2 weeks before this at the doctors it was 100/60. midwife said im not to worry unless the 75 goes over 90, so im not. but i am intrested in what everyone else has been like

Carolyn

i'm going to go and have a look at my notes...

Mines been between 90/50 & 110/72.... the higher reading was last week when I was having a allergic reaction to something... and it's stayed up there. Like the mw said, it's the bottom number they look at. Yours seems fine

Mines usually in the low 60s but recently its been in the 80's an 90's x

mw told me that they go on you lowest reading and if the bottom number rises to 20 more than that lowest reading they consider it high!!
Mine have been
120/70
110/64
120/70
130/68
130/80 she thought it was a bit high
160/80 and protein in my urine so was told to go to labour ward!!
Got another mw tomorrow really interested on what its going to be and hopefully that dam protein has gone

Carolyn

snap leedsforever! that's what happened at friday's appointment, high blood pressure, feet like elephants and protein in wee. so she came again today and said that the protein's still there and the elephants feet are still there, but the blood pressure's a bit down. what did they do to you when they sent you in? if you don't mind me asking?(i've got to go backand see her again on thurs)

leedsforever

well I got really swollen feet one day last week and I hadnt left the flat all day!! I posted a pic on here and the girls advised me to call the mw especially as my bp was quite high at the previous appointment!!

I took the girls advice and booked in with the nurse just to have my wee dipped and bp taken!! Nurse did both then got me into the gp straight away!! GP said hospital would admit me and he was almost certain about that, as it was 5pm but they didnt... as my bp had come down to 140/70!! but the protein was still there!! she sent it off for tests so Ill spose Ill find out more tomorrow!!!
The water retention in my feet is HORRENDOUS though to the point you can make dents in my foot not attractive lol!!
