BP high and breech

Hiya, had my 25 week high risk MW app yesterday and my BP was 120/81 so slightly elevated, at the time she said oh lovely BP but I’ve looked back on my notes and I can see it’s much higher than normal for me (I typically have quite low BP) should I be concerned? urine was all clear. Probably seems like nbd but my first baby was small so I’m ultra cautious.

Baby was also breech, my first was head down from 28 weeks so I’m a lil worried as would love a home birth?

Am I borrowing worry? Xx

You are borrowing worry. Textbook bp.
Many babies are breech. I think they only start thinking about it being an issue from about 36 weeks onwards. Even after then, babies can turn.

Oh is it? The nhs website said it was elevated so I got a bit concerned.

Thanks sometimes you just need to be told you’re being a worrier xx

120/80 is textbook.

120/80 is absolutely nothing to panic over.
Also my baby had been breech right up until 32/33 weeks. Then a scan at 34 weeks showed they’d turned head down so still plenty of time to turn yet.

I hope so, I’d started to get me heart set on a home birth.

Did you do anything to help baby turn @Moominmiss? Xx
