You might want to have them check you again at the end of each appointment.  At my 33 week appointment, I was 140/90 at the beginning and 120/70 at the end. At my 36+1 appointment, I was 130/90 at the beginning and 124/70 at the end.  I seem to stress myself out and then have to calm down to get a valid reading.
