High blood pressure
Has anyone had a slightly elevated reading at one appointment and it has gone down at the next visit? I typically have lower blood pressure levels but they have increased a little at my last 2 appointments. They're not concerned yet as it's only 130/90 but as I'm typically low, they are higher readings for me!

@Claudia they took it three times over the appointment to check it after I'd been resting for a while and it remained the same 😅 hoping it's just an off day!
I have white coat which is where my BP will go up if I look at a BP monitor, but when I’m home it’s normal, it’s really common. I had high BP with my son and this one is low BP
@Charlotte haha ya I think seeing the first higher one probably made the next few a bit higher then too 🙈 good idea about getting a home monitor!

Have they taken your BP after you've been walking/talking etc.? My readings are low-normal when I've been resting but one midwife appointment I had just come back from the loo and been chatting so my BP reading was higher x
