High BP post baby

DD will be two weeks old tomorrow and I still have high BP. I was induced due to pre-e and didn't know it could stick around after delivery. I had a BP check today and it was 130/90 which is what it was at when I was induced normally my BP is under 100. I have noticed vision changes. No protein in my urine and my blood work came back good today. I'm going back Friday for another check. 

Anyone have experiences with this?

  • I had the same thing with my son... I also wasn't losing the weight very fast b/c I was super swollen still after a few weeks.  They put me on BP meds- that first night I lost 10 lbs of water weight- I must have peed about 20 times- it was insane.  I only had to stay on the meds for like a month and then everything kind of regulated itself.

  • I was also induced because of preeclampsia and my BP was still pretty high at a 2 week PP appt but not high enough to put me on meds. My OB said it can take some time to regulate, even a few months. We will see where I'm at during my 6 week PP appt.
