High blood pressure at 29 weeks

Emily

I was released tonight from the hospital after being monitored for high blood pressure. I went in because I had been swelling for days, and saw flashes of light.

It was mostly in the 140s/90s, which is high for me. I did get the steroid shots for his lungs in case he needed to be delivered. Not exactly sure why the blood pressure was high. I'm gonna be seen twice a week. No bedrest, but I have to take it easy. If my blood pressure stays around 140s/90s then he'll be delivered around 37 weeks. If it gets over 160, then I'll be hospitalized and maybe put on meds, but probably delivered by 34 weeks. Just need some reassurance/advice from anyone who has been in this situation.
