Hello!
I'm 30 weeks pregnant and am having weekly BP checks due to having a BP of 130/90 at booking in. In my early midwife appintnents my BP was on average 130/80, although it did go down a bit (120/70). Now the thing is, I tend to get anxious when I visit the hospital and I think my elevated BP has a lot to do with that (basically I've got white coat syndrome mixed with general anxiety disorder). I've no protein in my wee or oedema. I really don't want to have to take any medication unless it's absolutely necessary. I just wondered if anyone a) was experiencing something similar; or b) could recommend some ways of getting my BP down?
Thanks! :-) x
