Well we are 20 weeks along with baby #2 and bp is rising. I know this is a stressful time of year but it is a little scary just the same. I am on blood pressure meds and a baby aspirin a day and this time I am aware of the symptoms not to ignore.

Has anyone else had this issue? Did the rest of your pregnancy go ok?

Baby seems to be doing well. I have made it to 31 weeks and am still on Procardia for the BP. It seems to be keeping it under control so far. They have told me if I can at least hang in there till 36 weeks they will be happy this time around. We are keeping our fingers crossed.

I am 18 weeks along with #2 and my BP never really went back to normal after HELLP with #1 so I am also monitoring BP frequently and taking baby aspirin although my Dr actually took me off the BP meds at my first prenatal appointment. So far so good for me, just a little high, but not enough to raise any alarms. I hope you're doing well.
