High blood pressure

I'm 40 weeks today.. Around 11, I was feeling really off and weak and I noticed my legs and feet were even more swollen than usual pregnancy swelling. My mom told me to check my blood pressure, which I've never had a problem with my whole pregnancy. It's normally 110/60. When I checked it, it was 150/100 and stayed there for about an hour. We decided to go to labor and delivery, I was monitored for about an hour there. It dropped to 135/85 which is still high for me, but the nurse didn't seemed worried at all. She sent me home and said to come back if I see spots or get a headache that Tylenol doesn't fix. Anyone else have problems with this? Should I worry? I still don't feel right...

Do you remember how high your blood pressure got when they induced you? I just checked it again and it's still 139/84 and I still don't feel right..

Thanks, that's what I was worried about... But the nurse seemed more worried about socializing with the other nurses as if I was interrupting her :/

Not sure, but I had my first son induced due to high blood pressure. It causes the baby to stress. But since they sent you home, keep monitoring your bp and if it goes up call your doctor and go back to er
