If you meet that criteria, you have PIH. THis can cause many problems with the pregnancy and with you. It frequently requires hospitalization and if it becomes severe(greater than 160/110 on 2 occasions separated by 6 hours) delivery might be indicated. Discuss your problem with your Obstetrican. RDB
