40wks No induction in my near future And high bp

Lil worried ladies.  I'm 40wks And just got released from hospital last night after being on watch for high bp. It reached 173/90 at one point.  I've never ever had high blood pressure before Well while I wasn't pregnant.  My concernis my Dr doesn't seem to want to induce or really talk about what we plan on doing.  I'm suppose to go in Monday to get my bp checked and then make an app with him to discuss what is next.  While I'm trying not to stress myself and keep my bp low I'm suppose to wait.  What are some signs when you have high bp? I just want to know what to look out for

Your doctor might send u on non stress test. Nothing to serious to worry about with the test they just monitor your baby's heart beat and movements when they do the test. My doctor told me when I blood pressure was a lil high to get into the hospital as soon as possible if I start to feel really sick or if I feel like I may faint . dizziness is a sign ur blood pressure is up as well. My doctor said to get some where that my blood pressure can be checked if I feel any of those symptoms. If you have one of the machines or know someone who does you can always check your own blood pressure at home

I didn't have preecalmpsia but I have tendencies of it. My blood pressure was high, had swelling in the feet and one leg, no protein in my urine. They induced me the next day because of it.

Yes they checked my urine and no protein which I knew cause they have been checking it.  I had high blood pressure at my app last week also.  They said to watch for headaches and pain in my right side.  But other than that I have no idea.  Just trying to relax as much as possible to not spike it.

Did they tell you to watch for preeclampsia signs?  Did they check your urine for protein?  My bp started to creep up and had to go to the hospital twice as well as have an extra ob visit.  Ended up going into labor 5 days after my higher bp was discovered- which was 10 days early.
