Had my booking appointment yesterday on the phone where the midwife stated I would be high risk because I have ongoing blood pressure problems.
I took my own blood pressure with a machine this morning and it ready 154/105, went to the midwife today to get bloods taken and she said my bp was 120/80 when she did it manually, I was confused so came home and did it again and it read 147/114 ..
Just a bit concerned/worried how when I visit a gp and do my own bp it reads really high, but when she did it manually it was as if it was perfect. I am under a consultant for my bp who had stated he's concerned about it so just don't know what's happened and his one time?
Only reason I say I'm concerned is obviously because I don't want them thinking I'm not high risk when I know I have problems with my blood pressure and them taking me off being monitored etc. Had previous pre eclampsia twice because of my bp and very cautious
