Pregnancy and Blood pressure... advice, experience?

Question

So I’ll start off by saying I have NEVER had any blood pressure issues. 
I’m currently 38 weeks with our third child. 
After I had our second, the first month postpartum my blood pressure would rise. I could feel it and had symptoms. When I would check it, it would for sure be high. I followed up with my doctor and they didn’t seem concerned at all.
This last week, I could tell my BP was up again due to symptoms. Well I put off checking it because I didn’t want to cause myself anxiety. Today I checked it to ease my mind and it came in at 138/88. That is high for me. I usually stay around 115/75-120/80. I called my doctor office and spoke with the nurse... she told me to take some Tylenol and drink water. I followed her advice. Here it is 12 hours later and I decide to check it again before bed because I’m having the same symptoms I’ve experienced off and on all week and again it’s up.. now it’s reading 136/82. 
What would you do? This hasn’t been an issue my whole pregnancy. I’m just concerned.

Answer

When is your next appointment? I’d call your doctor’s office tomorrow and see what they want you to do. They’ll likely have you go to your delivering hospital for triage to check your BP and your urine for protein along with possible blood work if your BP is very high. Those numbers are borderline elevated but not severe.
