High Blood Pressure

Any mommas have experience with this? I’ve had blood pressures consistently over 140/90 every day for the last few weeks. I’m currently 34w3d. I spent 4 hours in triage being monitored for my BP on Saturday but my labs were ok so they let me go home. I had readings of 146/96, 130/102, etc. Yesterday at my appointment I saw the NP and my BP was 130/80 they said (I don’t know if I believe that considering my MIL is an RN and took it that morning at 144/102). They acted like they were not even remotely concerned with my BP and just said, well there’s nothing we can do but wait because you don’t have any other issues. I just moved back home from Montana where I had high BP and the doctor there wanted to talk about inducing at 37-38 weeks. I just don’t understand how one set of doctors is concerned and wanted to diagnose me with PIH, and the hospital said the same thing, but the NP said she doesn’t want to diagnose me yet because my labs are fine. I just don’t want to ignore this if it could potentially be harmful to the baby. I even double checked my BP at Rite Aid today to make sure I wasn’t just going crazy. Any experiences/advice with this would be so helpful! Thank you!
