I've been to see the nurse today and asked her to check my blood pressure as I was previously told it was a bit high compared to most pregnant women's. It was around 140/80 before but today it was 153/88. I have to go back on Friday so she'll check it again then but she was 'too busy' to talk to me about it today. I assume I will be tested for protein in my urine at my next midwife appointment in 3 weeks.
I just wondered if anyone knew how high is considered dangerous. Assuming I don't have protein in my urine, is it still dangerous to be this high?
I'm especially worried about this because I'm moving back to my home city in June/July and don't want to end up hospitalised where I am now with very few friends and no family around.
I hope someone has some information for me.
