BP pregnancy: Prob normal. Go to wiki and read more about normal changes in heart and BP with preg. Also uptodate.com. There are no approved home BP devices that have been shown to be accurate. Except one you listen to. Try lying on died when lying down to see if changed. Baby can put pressure on vena cava and lower BP transiently when lying on back. Check it out. Discuss with team.
