Hi there,Blood pressure of 140/90 with headache and blurred vision is a significant finding, please get to a hospital immediately, Clamps (high BP with Fits) is known to occur post delivery also, and you need to take medications for the same immediately. Please do not neglect and get help immediately. The pattern of blood pressure shown is as expected in pregnancy, but 140/90 at less than 20 weeks implies that you have chronic hypertension. There is a fall in blood pressure after the first 3 months and blood pressure is expected to be lower than the normal range in the mid-trimester. Due to the anxiety and stress of labor, blood pressure is known to rise during delivery. But post delivery raised blood pressure with signs of blurred vision make it a significant risk for fits, you will most likely need magnesium sulfate as a precaution. Also, you need to be monitored in the hospital till the symptoms subside. Hope this helps. Regards.
