Gestational hypertension @ 29 weeks

Mackenzie
After an appointment with my midwife she said my blood pressure was high and that we should go to emerge for further testing. After having my blood pressure reach 178/117 and having several people monitoring me for 4 hours we were able to get my blood pressure under control. However im measuring 3 weeks behind and am being sent to a specialist next week. Currently home on bed rest with blood pressure medication. I'm just wondering if anyone else has experienced this? I was told I'll be lucky if they can keep the baby in there for another few weeks..
