    Went to the check-up yesterday. Everything was fine again. But I was wondering... I normally have a really low blood pressure, around 50/90. Yesterday it suddenly was 85/140, but the midwife said that's a perfectly fine blood pressure. Do any of you have higher blood pressure than usual now?? I also woke up this morning with really swollen hands.. pfff hope the baby shows up soon haha..

    Here too, every time I go for a check-up, they say I have high blood pressure. Always around 145/85.
    That's slightly elevated; normally my blood pressure is always around 12 or 13/70.
    Usually, at the check-up, I have to lie down on my left side, and they take my blood pressure again after 10 minutes, and then it drops to 11/70, and they say okay, it's fine.
    My doctor has never said my blood pressure is too high.
    High blood pressure can indicate pregnancy-induced hypertension, so you need to be alert for that!

    I also have low blood pressure, so if it's a bit higher now like yours, it's actually "normal". There's nothing to worry about.

    Same here, but indeed not worrying.
