    I certainly think its nothing to worry about...mines been at its highest 152/100! Its the bottom number they pay more attention with and only class it as high if its over 90?? xx

    i agree with sazzyjay that its nothing to worry about. I had high blood pressure in the last few weeks and it was always above 90 on the bottom number. The highest mine went to was 159/121 and thats when they admitted me to hospital.

    Im a nurse and unless the bottom figure is 90 or over they wouldnt count it as high. I would ask your midwife if she has made a mistake as your bloodpressure is good for 37 weeks. I have just gotten back from mine and its away up to 160/100. I have to watch it again but if i were you i wouldnt worry as yours is fine. xxx
