Higher Blood Pressure PP?

[AFWife]

Before pregnancy (and even during) my blood pressure ran about 110/60. It's ALWAYS been low (my bp and pulse. I've been asked if I'm an athlete more than once)

However, right after birth it was higher...understandable considering I was anemic.

But it's still higher (130/80 roughly) 7 months pp...no one has said anything about it, but I have a whole new round of doctors (we moved) so they don't know how low it used to be.

I'm still BFing full time. Is this something I need to worry about?

My numbers were about like yours (pre-baby and pp). The higher numbers persisted until my last couple doctor appointments. DS is 3. I react pretty physically to stress, so I think it was first being a new mom and then starting a new, stressful job. Nobody really said much about it -- nurses pointed it out a couple times, but nobody ever talked about treating it.

So I don't know if it means anything, but yeah, I had that too.

Yeah, mine was super low while I was pregnant, but it's a little higher now -- it's actually hovering right around 120 for the top number, where previously it was like 100. Maybe it's stress, I dunno.
