White Coat Hypertension?

Rylee

Hi ladies!

Anyone experiencing sky high blood pressures at the their appointments but normal at home?

I had preeclampsia in my first pregnancy and that sparked a fear of getting my blood pressure taken. Now I’m pregnant again and my BP has been high at every single appointment so far; I’m so worried about getting it again that I make it high. I’ve tried it all to relax ahead of time! My doctor accepts my low readings that I record at home as she struggles with blood pressure too. But I feel so embarrassed when I go to the doctor like they think I’m crazy because a little test freaks me out! It also doesn’t help that the nurse is so rude and judgmental.
