Post Partum High BP

[CathyandHeathcliff]

I had a c section 4 days ago. The hospital continued to monitor my BP afterwards for 24 hours. It was fine.
Since coming home (I have my own monitor) it’s been around 145—48/82-85.
I don’t understand why it’s now higher, when a couple of days ago it was fine.
I’m very tired (obvious with a newborn).
I have a bit of a headache, but I thought it was more likely to be lack of sleep.
I have no obvious swelling.

Anyone help?

You need to speak to your midwife. They are responsible for your care and monitoring until at least 10 days post partum.
Monitoring your bp is a very important part of your post natal care.
