Yes it happened to me too, developed high BP after delivery which was quite scary. Postpartum preeclampsia is more common than ppl think but not many talk abt it. Please don’t take it lightly ya, watch out for symptoms like bad headache, swelling, blurred vision or chest pain and go A&E immediately if u get any of those. My dr put me on BP meds for a few weeks and it eventually resolved on its own. Just monitor ur BP closely and follow up with ur gynae regularly 🙏
