Re: when did your post partum high blood pressure go away?
Mine started coming down about 12 weeks post partum, but I'm still on bp meds since my doctor is weaning me off. I should be done next week, at 15 weeks post.
Feel better!

I had no idea my BP was high until my 6 week visit. It finally went down about four months post partum. Good luck!

Re: when did your post partum high blood pressure go away?
i was on labetalol for 6w after delivery but for me the high BP went down a few days after delivery. however my pre-e was directly related to the baby so once she was out and once my blood was replenished (i lost 4 pints during surgery), and 24 additional hours on magnesium, i didnt have high BP again. but my BP never really went that high, i just had all of the other pre-e/HELLP symptoms.

Re: when did your post partum high blood pressure go away?
I am still on Labetalol and I am 4+ months pp. I am on 400 mg 3x a day.
My pressure on the labetalol averages 115/80, but when I missed a dose last week and I took my BP, it was 145/100  So it looks like I will still be on the meds for awhile. I see my cardiologist again in early September. She's one of the top cardiologists and she doesn't think I will have to be on the meds long term. I will get back to normal eventually and be able to wean.

Re: when did your post partum high blood pressure go away?
Thanks girls! Does abyonme know why this happens? And did u hjave symptoms? Doc put me on a med 2 days ago. Now I have a headache and I am sooo neurotic that I don't know if its bp related or just one of my fun migraines I get here or there. Also feel so guilty bc I am at my heaviest weight everrrrr and I feel its bc I am fat. Altthough I was heavier when I was pg and didn't get high bp. Grrrrrr
