High BP
So I’ve been having pretty high blood pressure recently(I’ll be 38 weeks on Friday) and my ob seems to not be concerned because there isn’t any protein in my urine.. should I be concerned? Anyone else going through this?
Context: my BP is typically on the lower side like 108/60 and recently its been about 140 or above

Your OB should be concerned. Any other symptoms aside from high BP such as dizziness, vision changes, migraines/headaches, new onset swelling or worsening swelling?
just high BP and swelling
Maybe just go into L&D if you’re OB isn’t showing enough concern?
Are they doing any baby monitoring like NST tests? If yes and those look ok, I can see no concern.
My bp was slightly elevated last week (at 37 weeks) and my OB got very concerned. She ordered some bloodwork to check on my liver and kidneys since I wasn’t showing any protein in my urine. She had me check and record for the next few days my bp. She mentioned if it stays high she will recommend an induction. Luckily I was able to stop working and my bp went down and there were no issues with my blood work. So I am ok for now. She says it’s a concern if one of the numbers are 140/90 or more and it continues to be.
