I've been on preeclampsia watch since 20 weeks, having weekly blood pressure and urine checks, having had blood pressure of 170/111 at booking 😬

I'm now 33 weeks and I'm still having weekly blood pressure and urine checks on Wednesday and now Ive been told I'll be having weekly day cares untill delivery.

im due to have a elcs on September 16th has anyone had anything similar and what was the outcome?

I've had protein in my urine for the last month but my blood pressure is sitting around about 138/88 at the moment

I was the same, I had blood pressure and urine checks every Monday, Wednesday and Friday with an online check on a Saturday night. I then had weekly blood tests once I hit 30 weeks. It was good that we were monitored so much. I had a c section planned for 39 weeks. At 37 weeks my blood pressure peaked and I stayed in hospital for a few nights until it was under control. My baby was monitored constantly. She was in distress once but the consultants and midwives kept a close eye on her and she did settle. I was out on medication for the last week of my pregnancy, I was in hospital for day checks up to 3 days before my planned c section. I was asked to isolate to make sure I didn’t catch covid before my planned section.
My baby was delivered safely as planned. I was slightly unwell but it was expected.
Dd is now 16 weeks and just perfect!

I was told to phone triage if my blood pressure went over 150/90 and they would decide if I needed to be checked. I was given a home blood pressure monitor to check myself at night time.
