High blood pressure, 35 weeks

Sk

So last Friday I was in the hospital due to a UTI and started on Macrobid antibiotic, had one dose and my face swelled up, called my doctor to tell her I think I’m having a reaction, she had me come into the office and took urine and monitored my BP which kept rising, my last number was 158/100. My urine came back with protein and my doctor was convinced I had preeclampsia. Now the hospital I’ll be delivering at isn’t skilled enough for someone at my weeks in pregnancy so I was sent to a hospital about 30 mins away to get a second opinion. Of course, my BP was stable and they told me there wasn’t enough protein in my urine to rule out preeclampsia. So moral of the story is I was told to monitor my blood pressure and ever since then, I take it twice a day, it’s been high. I’m going to follow up with my doctor in the morning and wondering what she will do? Any opinions?
