high blood pressure =(

My nurse told me my blood pressure was high and to lay off salty foods which I don't think I eat much of anyway but I'm wondering if there are any symptoms I should be on the lookout for I'm 35 wks today.

It sounds like they're looking at symptoms of very early pre-eclampsia.  Did you tell the nurse you don't have a high salt diet?

In the meantime,  it sounds like you need to be watching for swelling and headaches.  

You're in the homestretch now - won't be long before you have your baby!
