Postpartum hypertension

Hello everyone,

Last week I had my daughter and all was fine. It was a quick delivery she was born at 38 weeks and four days. However, after she was born I developed hypertension. This is making me an emotional wreck. I worry so much that im finding it hard to enjoy my daughter.

I have never heard of this before nor had it with my other pregnancies. I did a little online research. There is nothing recent out there and I just wanted to know if anyone else has experienced this with their other pregnancies? How long did it take for your bp to go back to normal?

I should note my bp was normal all throughout my pregnancy.
