Please Everyone keep your fingers crossed , updated, UPDATE.
I was due for consultant appointment next Wednesday at 36 weeks with a registrar to check on my progress and make sure things were still ok for my water homebirth.
Well I got a phone call from the mlu this morning saying that my appointment was this morning next weeks appointment had been cancelled and I was sent a letter. Typical did not receive no letter. So dashed in there with my notes of course, wee sample and in my shorts did not have time to change and as usual was keepted waiting had to wait till the end.
Anyway registrar was a pain could barely understand what he was saying, a nice mw that I have met at antenatal classes was there. He was fighting for the consultant led hospital and she the lmu or for me a home birth. All he keepted saying was its safter for first babies at hospital, I know all that etc. Well finally he agreed I could have him where I wanted, but now unfortuntely it appears my blood pressure has gone up so may not get my home birth after all. Very worried and upset now. Got to go back tomorrow at 13.00 to check bp again, please keep fingers crossed for me.

Well back from mlu, saw the bloody mw that I did not like at 16 weeks who told me all the wrong info. She actually was not too bad this time, still got it all in a muddle.
I went last week at 34 weeks and was supposed to go next week at 36 weeks but that got brought forward to yesterday so go now is all over the bloody place. Well today's visit re bp.
I never understand this I am ok bp was a bit better, it normally is about 130/64 ish but because I had to go in at short notice yesterday it shot up to 130/95 apparently the top figure is me bottom is Luke aka Mojo. well today the bottom fifure was back to normal 65 ish and the top figure has now gone to 150, don't know what to make of that, got to go back on Monday for 36 week check anyway and then they have also booked in the home birth box to be delivered the week after at 37 weeks classed as full term.
I feel like I am all over the place all out of sink because of the bloody cock up yesterday. Still booked in for homebirth so still keeping fingers crossed. Plus birthing pool arrived from ebay this morning. Not looked at it yet. Still hopefull.

I agree sounds very much like white coat hypertension to me. im sure it will drop.
I didnt think that it was any safer having your first baby in hosptial, sounds like he was old fashioned and behind the times, there is loads of evidence that says that more relaxed surroundings (ie hb or mlu) result in less intervention)
good luck
Trying to chill out this morning, resting reading posts on here.
