the swelling in your face accompanied by the raised blood pressure is something to watch out for. even though that is a good pressure it's high for you. i'd say try to find a way to check your blood pressure daily and if it goes up any more, nag your doctor. a lot of stores have blood pressure machines so just watch out for yourself and trust your instinct. you know you better than anyone else. btw when are you due?

jeni...gosh dont mean to worry u but u have all the signs of eclampsia..i would go get that checked out right away...it can become worse very quickly and be life threatening. You might be fine but I wouldn't risk it. Much more common in first pregnancies or if you have had it before but every symptom you have is a sign...
you need to get them to check your urine for protein and take some bloods...
let us know how you get on. Hope everything is ok. Don't mean to worry you, I"m not a doctor...but i;d get it checked out if i were you.
