Thanks. I had low BP problems during c-s last time (normally ~100/70). Not nice and not fun for Mr. Lex to watch either, though who really cares about him? This time I warned them ahead of time and they handled it well and the c-s was relatively pleasant. Unfortunately (and I had no idea this was possible, but...), about 7-8 days later it shot up to a crazy 170/100 which was the start of my fun hospital marathon. The Drs would have loved to Dx me with postpartum preeclampsia (again, no idea this existed), but the HBP was the only symptom so they couldn't.
