So annoyed with myself. Had my baby just over a week ago and I've been feeling great, really happy and recovering well from section. But my BP has been high and I had to go back to hospital the other day for a few hours. It was awful leaving my baby at home but they increased my meds so I thought that would be the end of it. Got my Bp done this morning and it's still high. Burst into tears and couldn't stop crying. I am really worried about being admitted to hospital and having to leave baby at home. I think midwife now thinks I'm depressed because I was crying so much and she was going on about hormones and things. I did have PND last time and have made sure that it's on all my notes so people can keep an eye on it now, but this isn't it- this is just me feeling shit and being worried about my health and not knowing what's going to happen. But I couldn't even tell her that I was crying so much. I feel stupid and worried.
BP is 160/95-100 and I'm on 300mg in the morning and 200mg at night. I just want them to increase it again so it can go down and I can get on with things. But she's coming back tomorrow to take it again and I just know it won't have changed.
