High blood pressure
Hi everyone. I’ve noticed since birth my BP has gone up. All throughout pregnancy and prior it would be around 110/70 on average. Now it is around 138/88 on average 3.5 weeks postpartum. Anyone else experienced this?

But it’s a lot higher than what’s normal for me
But it's still normal and within the normal range
I had high bp during pregnancy and for a few weeks after. The Drs all said it had to be below 130/70 to be considered “normal” and if above that I had to continue on the medication. Pre-eclampsia can still occur after birth so please bring it up with your Dr so they can check
