Nurse Claudia had a great answer. Remember, at the high point, 142/90,
most would consider this borderline high blood pressure. Your doctor
needs to keepa close watch on this and start sonography (serial) and
NSTs at the appropriate time as well as modified bedrest if it is
considered in your best interest. This is all considering you don't
have chronic hypertension when not pregnant.
