[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ugh this thread is making me so incredibly nervous to give birth again, especially at Sibley. How do you all seemingly know your BP at any given time? Does everyone have BP cuffs at their house and I’m just finding this out now? I had normal blood pressure with my first until after I gave birth and I remember vaguely nurses being concerned but no one ever explained that you could have pre-e after birth or what to look out for...[/quote] I took mine every time I went to the drug store or Harris teeter so I had a good baseline. After I was diagnosed I bought a cuff and used it religiously in my second, thankfully uneventful pregnancy. But it alerted me to a few post partum spikes that brought me back to triage. Imo it should be in te welcome packets hospitals issue to pregnant moms. No harm in checking your pressure one a day/ week whatever and it puts you in a position of knowledge (I'm the Georgetown poster above)[/quote]
