Guest guest Posted September 2, 2000 Report Share Posted September 2, 2000 I had an antenatal check yesterday and was a bit nervous because this was exactly the time my bp started rising last time (37 weeks). I was hoping I'd be ok because I haven't got fluid retention yet (well maybe a really weeny bit) so I was really fed-up to find my bp up by 8 points. My midwife has suggested seeing an acupuncturist and I've been recommended someone locally so will try to get an apptmt next week. She also told me of a method of lowering bp I've never heard of before and wondered if anyone else has - she said drinking cucumber juice (at least 4 cucumbers a day!!!) has been shown to lower bp. I've bought the cucumbers but haven't felt inspired to juice them yet :-/ On top of this I've still got a half-finished kitchen that was supposed to have been done in July and builder who keeps making excuses and not contacting us - Grrrrrrr.
