Blood pressure monitoring can play an important role during pregnancy and postpartum.
If you’re taking a reading at home, a few small steps can help improve accuracy:
• Avoid caffeine or smoking for about 30 minutes beforehand
• Sit and relax for about 5 minutes before taking your reading
• Take the measurement on a bare arm
