No problems with blood pressure before I had a child and no problems during pregnancy.

As soon as I delivered DS1 (now 2.9) my blood pressure went sky high and I have been on medication ever since.

When I was pregnant with DS2 my P dropped mid trimester so I came off medication. As soon as I delivered up went the BP and I have been on pills ever since.

Has this happened to anyone else due to child birth? I am mid thirties, not overweight and am fairly active.

Pity they can't prescribe a good long holiday (all expenses paid) and three luxury massage treatments per week...would probably do as much as a big dose of meds
Sorry you're having high readings (and high stress) Saltire. The 24 hour trace was useful, in my case - helps you get a bit more of an idea as to how much is stress, and how much is a constant, too.
