  Yes, I had a similar post a couple of weeks ago. 

  At every OB appointment, my usually normal blood pressure has been between 130 and 145 (top number). My husband and I have attributed it to nerves. I asked the nurse at my previous appointmen

  My last visit they said I was higher than normal. I know though that I get anxious and nervous. In the past they checked it a second time later during the visit and it was normal.

   The nurse told me to up my water intake.

  My BP has been higher than normal since my 20 week appointment.  My doctor had me check it at home twice a day and come back in a week to show her my readings at home, which are completely normal.  At my 24 week appointment, the reading was h

  I believe mine is something to do with going to the doctor. When I check it at work, it's fine but my last appt it was 131/88 and the one before that was about the same. Try checking it when you're not at the dr and see what you get.

  Thanks, ladies.

  They did re check my BP after the appt was done and it was a tad lower, but not too much.  I don't really think I'm nervous at the appt, but maybe subconsciously I am.  I may buy a monitor, to see how it is at home.

  My BP is high off and on (and was pre-pregnancy too). I have noticed it gets higher in the office. Buy a good monitor and check it at home every day - then you'll have more of an indicator of whether it's an ongoing problem or more of a "white coat syn
