Blood pressure - any suggestions?

[Ali K]

Hi Girls!

I'm visiting from the second trimester but thought I'd ask for your advice! I had a bizarre BP reading of 111 over 91 at my 24 week appt and the Doctor showed some concern about this and I am going to have another scan in 3 weeks just to make sure the baby's growth isn't being restricted!

If this has happened to anyone else or if you have any advice to bring the second number down I would really appreciate it! I'm watching my sodium levels (always kept an eye on that anyway), excercising and my weight isn't excessive....what can I do?!

Everything I've looked at for this suggests lowering salt, and upping fruit & veg, sounds like you are already doing this?

I think at least the docs will monitor it for you now......sorry I couldn't be much help
